They considered it and disregarded it. There was/is an achievement gap between whites /asians and blacks. The states and department of education spent fortunes trying to remedy that. Most of the programs put in place were ill conceived and some complete nonsense. The achievement gap stubbornly remained. This led to an ever lowering of standards for black children. In most urban schools, the average black student enters high school with 4th grade skills.
With the advent of DIE, the communist progressives decided that the reason for the gap was white supremacy and white behaviors such as punctuality, hard work, individualism,etc. were the cause and must be attacked.
“feelings and opinions have replaced critical thinking
Capitalizing on negative emotions is primarily how Democrats obtain and maintain power.
Unfortunately all of the Democrats solutions do nothing to alleviate the problems they are meant to solve. Usually they make them worse.
Welfare, increased the number of fatherless Black children living in poverty.
Integration of schools, increased the percentage of Black illiterates.
Federal aide to higher education increased the rate of drop outs, caused the cost of education to rise and put hundreds of thousands of young people in debt that they can never repay and can not escape through bankruptcy.
Democrats trying to remedy injustice creat greater injustice.
