'The View' host Sunny Hostin claims her children experienced racism at private schools

Hostin empathized with Hannah-Jones' situation but suggested there were additional problems with sending Black children to "predominantly White" private schools.

"I think that this is a decision broadly that all parents make when it comes to educating their kids, but ... this is a very difficult decision for Black parents, in particular, because I made a very different decision," Hostin said. "I sent my children to private schools, a predominantly White private school. So, while they didn't suffer academically, they excelled, but it was a well-funded school, a private school, well-resourced school, they suffered a different type of pain."

While Hostin conceded that her children "did not struggle academically" like Hannah-Jones' daughter reported, she expressed concerns about the "systemic problem" affecting predominantly non-White school districts.

"So I think the real question here is, nationally, schools in predominantly non-White districts receive $23 billion less in annual funding than their White counterparts. Underfunded schools versus well-funded schools. So public schools are funded from property taxes. So we need to look at the systemic problem that's happening in this country around public education," Hostin said.

"I hope people concerned about the choice my husband and I made for our daughter will have equal or more outrage for the thousands of Black children whose parents don't have the resources to send them to better schools," she said. "As I write in the piece, there is no absolution to be had for any of us."
