Overview: What is at stake when some American children go to school hungry and others go to school in $1,000 Bugaboo strollers?

Gifted & Talented, general or special education?—segregate American children from birth through adolescence, and into adulthood, as never before.

Examining three New York City schools, Class War show how education has been transformed into a competitive “hunger games” for the resources and social connections required for economic success.
