A small but growing body of research shows minorities tend to do better in class and face higher expectations when taught by teachers from their racial or ethnic group, said the National Collaborative on Diversity in the Teaching Force, a partnership led by six groups.

"Teachers of color" often serve as role models and cultural brokers who help students connect to their school through shared identities, group leaders said.

I'm confused, aren't they then saying that ideally students should be taught by teachers of the same race as themselves. Therefore schools should be segregated by race with each race of students being taught by a teacher of the same race? Isn't this what was fought against in the 60s? It seems like yet again, liberal thought leads to a contradiction.

The contradiction comes from believing that there is something called "liberal thought". There are only liberal feelings, not thought.
