Abstract
The US is one of only two countries that has never ratified the United Nations 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child and does not recognize education as a fundamental right. Given those realities, this paper examines the growing inequities in American public education as a symptom of what authors Hayward and Swanstrom have called thick injustice.
