Question

____ theorists do not believe that public schools reduce social inequality in society; rather, they believe that schools often perpetuate class, racial/ethnic, and gender inequalities as some groups seek to maintain their privileged position at the expense of others.

Answer 1

The correct answer is : conflict theorists

Step-by-step explanation:

For conflict theorists the educational systems preserve the status quo and push people of lower status into obedience. Students who live in low socioeconomic status do not have the same opportunities as students of higher socioeconomic ones. According to them no matter how great your academic performance is or ability there will always be a state of imbalance.
