There’s no solid evidence that IQ (in a healthy person who has no disability) is inherent.
Anyway, why would a conservative buy into the notion that any behavior - and academic performance is a result of behaviors (studying, investing time and effort) - is beyond the control of a perfectly healthy person? Especially considering that public schools, public libraries, etc., are available to everyone.
It’s all about lowered standards and expectations. An increasing number of black families homeschool and, like most homeschoolers, do very well.
There are hundreds of studies to just that effect.
But outside of that, it's absolutely preposterous to think that the brain which is a chemical-mechanical operating organ, just like a heart, is somehow disconnected in its ability from genetics, when it's not even remotely controversial that all the other bodily structures aren't.
That everybody gets the same brain ability, yet wildly different carrying cases, one genetically determined,the other not, is absurd.

Your post is nonsense.
This is a fact that is accepted by most professionals who study it.
They just prefer not to discuss it publicly — for obvious reasons.

Odd. I’ve met a lot of stupid people. And while I’m very smart in math and reading, I cannot learn a foreign language to save my soul.
What makes you think that everyone has the same intelligence? Haven’t you ever met a student who worked hard, studied, and didn’t learn? That, BTW, described me taking French and German, although I had no problem with Calculus in High School and got a BS in Biology in 3 years.
