The soft bigotry of low expectations.
The “African Amercan History” expert is the real racist in this story.
Black students are perfectly capable of excelling in STEM courses, if excellence in those areas is expected of them by teachers and demanded of them by parents.
How many black, er, I mean African American students are capable of excelling? Just as many (proportionately speaking) as whites? Asians? Surely the same, right?
Amen. An increasing number of parents of black students are homeschooling, holding their children to high standards. And their children are achieving success.
