A Question for This Labor Day Weekend

First a reminder of the origins of labor day.

Now my question.

If income mal-distribution is the great socio-economic problem of our day
(1) will independent schools, which are primarily funded by the wealthy (2),
be able to significantly participate in working to alleviate this problem?


(1) There are certainly reasonable arguments for this case. Robert Reich
provides a cogent summary in this piece.

(2) See second bullet point in this blog post by Pat Bassett.
