Black Education: Myths and Tragedies-Why Achievement Gaps Persist | OLD PARKLAND CONFERENCE

Disparities in academic performance between black and white students who attend traditional public schools have persisted for decades.

And why do liberal politicians spend so much time trying to discredit viable alternatives to traditional public schooling? Reihan Salam moderated a discussion with Eric Hanushek and Ian Rowe about education policy, teachers unions, school choice, standardized testing, and whether teaching critical race theory and the 1619 Project in elementary schools where kids can’t read or do math at grade level is a good idea.
