How does Kumashiro's three questions to ask about education policy relate to the idea of policy distractions and the disparity in school funding?

Who made the rules?

I love the Kumashiro's stance on "questioning common sense". We need to have the foresight to look at what we're doing now and question why we are following along. What will we look back on and question why it was common sense.
“To uncover some of these implicit understandings and push the field of education to more holistic and transformative change, some scholars have advocated for clarifying or even reconceptualizing the frames used to define common problems” (p. 167)
Reframing the common problems to identify the complete picture contributing to the issue. Without addressing the entirety of the problem, true and lasting change cannot take place.
Our school funding system was founded (like the origin of our country) on fundamental and systemic racism.
For hundreds of years we have committed to the racist tendencies of our founding fathers. It is pretty amazing to see how much has changed in society yet some fundamental structures and ideologies from the time of our founding fathers still exists today.

“the politics of distraction “dictate, with little accountability, how crucial social problems and issues are named, discussed, and acted upon” (p. 165)

Politic distraction is what is being use to convince the "losers" to keep going.
Education is the key to getting out of poverty.
Standardized curriculum supports offers equitable education.
Corporations- schools are modeled after the business sector. Business sector is trying to intentionally impacting education policy. Fix public schools by privatizing by for profit companies.

Philanthropies- foundations that invest to experiment with school reform.
Leverage resources to have more policy influence
