It's because the test is culturally biased

You just need equity to give everyone a fair shot Bob! Check your white privilege! White nationalism! 80 genders!

It’s a good thing Gov. Brown made sure before she left office to handicap minorities even more. Just lower the standards and watch the test scores soar!
They’re really not good at addressing roots problems are they? Turning groups into victims is much easier to pull off. -
Actually, they're great at addressing the "root problems" as long as you acknowledge that it's white racism and white racism only that's the problem.46XiJCAB said:It’s a good thing Gov.

Math isn’t racist.
The public school admins that steal money from underserved districts and put minority students at a disadvantage are probably pretty racist, though. -
Let's take away their secret sauce and see how those Asians do.
Abacus privilege.

I'm hearing Texas Instruments is racist as well.

The scamdemic only widened the achievement gap between the poor and the rich kids.
The poor usually got a $150 laptop or something, but who knows if they even had good Wifi to do their work at home.
The upper middle class kids probably had at least one parent working from home who could check up on them easily. Plus they can afford tutors. -
Abraham Lincoln was raised in a single parent household (mom died when Abe was 9) and had to help with farming duties. He had no computer and lousy wifi. He was self-educated and eventually passed the bar. Old Christian midwest culture demanded education and kids got educated by reading, writing and ciphering (math). Frederick Douglass was largely self-educated even as a slave in a white home that felt that education was inconsistent with slavery. Both were intellectually curious.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:The scamdemic only widened the achievement gap between the poor and the rich kids.

We have lots of upper middle class white school kids around here and they are often on TV "spontaneously" protesting for the whole gamut of woke ideas, BLM, CRT, taking away gun rights, opposing armed SRO cops in school and global warming. They are not intellectually curious, they are just indoctrinated sheep. You see it here. The dazzler and mello can't debate the political issues because they have no functional understanding of math, science, history or economics. When your leading spokespersons for global warming are Greta Thunberg and AOC that demonstrates the intellectual deficiency of the left.
Education is dependent on parents and a culture that promotes learning be it old American middle class or slaves that saw learning as a way out of slavery. America is lost because we don't value intellectual curiosity and the culture to actually learn the 3Rs. -
So the question is, is this due to all the husbandless whoring mothers of black and latino kids or is it Charles Murray's fault? It's a big question, because this generation may be the last one that'll get away with not being good at math and still live well. Keep an eye on AI.
Separate question: does the Brookings break down the "white" category by any other categories? Yes, I'm too lazy to look. Reason I ask is "white" is mighty broad. I'm as white as I'm guessing you are. I'm also latino. Jews are white. People of German heritage are white. I don't think good math DNA is equally spread around the world. I know this is data; but I also know a lot of white people with limited intellectual abilities. I wonder what it looks like when you differentiate among whitey. Seems racist to lump all of whitey into one white. -
