Heard It From a Youth Worker:

The "opportunity gap," according to Harvard scholar/author Robert Putnam, threatens the American Dream. Putnam argues that the growing inequality of income and wealth in America is turning into a nearly insurmountable structural disparity of opportunity. The growing class gaps in family life, parenting, schooling and community life between affluent kids and poorer kids are excluding the latter from economic success and genuine democracy.
