It’s the IQ thing. Known for a long, long time, but we’re not supposed to talk about it.

Math? Science? I did not expect them to know that since they can’t read “cursive writing”.
No that did not need a /sarc tag

I recall some things Thomas Jefferson wrote concerning the intelligence of Blacks. I do not recall everything exactly except it agreed completely with what modern IQ tests show.
I do recall that Math and abstract reasoning were their weak points but he considered them close to equal to whites in verbal skills.

black students are excluded from much of the STEM conversation and are nearly entirely excluded from the higher level STEM education discourseConversation? Discourse? What planet are they from?

No, they are not excluded, they are not well enough educated or interested in the STEM programs.

According to the newspaper, the tests are too hard.

Black students, on average, perform worse academically and have lower IQs. Math and science are fields that require an absolute correct answer via a formula. You cannot BS through those fields like you can many of the social sciences or African-American studies.

I'm from a group that does poorly in such tests. I, however, am an exception. Whats special about me? I was raised in an upper middle class family, whose parents made damn sure he did well in school, whose parents encouraged learning and intellectual pursuits.
American "black" culture is a failure, academically speaking. I don't think its as genetic as many here might think, I knew too many minorities in college, usually from a non-American black upbringing, who were in engineering and science, and did as well as I did. Its mostly a cultural debacle we have witnessed.

There may be several variables, but the teachers unions and the liberal local and state gummints certainly did not help.
