Statement A: Teacher unions are an important determinant of the level of education spending; strong unions push local districts to spend more money on education, whereas weak unions cannot accomplish this.
Statement B: On average, women tend to be more concerned about the welfare of children than men; give women more political power, and you will see improvements in education quality and reductions in educational inequality.
Statement C: Racial minorities have little political power to influence education systems in the U.S. When they vote, or even when they become members of local school boards, racial minorities are unable to influence education policy.
