Forbes magazine has released its third annual Forbes Philanthropy issue, and among the philanthropists recognized is national CIS Board Chair Elaine Wynn, director of Wynn Resorts, pictured above fourth from right.
Wynn, one of America’s six top education philanthropists featured in the issue, was asked to share her thoughts on education success. Wynn writes, “Unfortunately we have an education system that sustains poverty. Children who come from well-to-do families have many more advantages when it comes to education. They can opt out to go to private schools, or if they’re in public schools, they’re in neighborhoods where parents demand better-quality facilities and better teachers. There’s a huge discrepancy between haves and have-nots and the correct distribution of resources. We tend to perpetuate poverty because we can’t seem to have an impact on changing that distribution.”
