104. Poorly educated and minority doesn’t mean unintelligent.
First, to your claim that a quarter of our kids don’t graduate from high school:
“In 2008, 22 percent of Hispanic 18- to 24-year-olds were not enrolled in high school and lacked a high school diploma or equivalent. The corresponding percentages for non-Hispanic whites were 6 percent, blacks were 13 percent and Asians were 4 percent.”

And:
“The percentage of high school dropouts among 16- through 24-year-olds declined from 11.8 percent in 1998 to 7.4 percent in 2010 (source).”

The racial demographics for our full school population:
White and Asian: 62%
Black and Hispanic: 38%

You can argue with IQ scores if you want, but Blacks and Hispanics score significantly lower on them than Whites and Asians, and almost 2 out of 5 of our school kids is Black or Hispanic.
