I imagine a lot of the lib discourse of this either avoids the education funding model (rich areas get better schools) or views it as either inevitable or good. If you're a "middle class" lib in a rich area, maybe everyone around you hasn't gone to a school with very little funding, everyone around you has gone to uni etc.

Still intentional.

Extremely intentional. Maintains class divide, keeps the “middle class” in check by letting them know if they question anything they’ll get kicked down a few rungs on the social ladder.
