Race is an 800lb gorilla in the room of education. Part of the reason educational standards have dropped over the years is that consistently, blacks fell to the bottom. The response has been to lower the standards. The tests were all “culturally biased” or based on “White Privilege”. Unfortunately, a problem cannot be solved, if it cannot be discussed, and the discussion usually ends with the scream of “RACIST!!”
The truth is racist thus the truth cannot be considered in planning.
