I'm surprised The Shill published the article, albeit it's an opinion piece.

Lots of their woke readers are going to be triggered.

Do a search..first black man and women to graduate from college.
It’s in the 1800s.
And there are numerous examples.
How did blacks pass college during the time of slavery and white privilege?

I contend America’s education system has intentionally and systematically failed people of all races. Considering that Caucasians are still a majority in America, the education system has failed more whites than any other race. There are people who despite the education system that still succeed. The number one reason is very simple: parents. It's not teachers. It's not teacher unions. It's not government.

Some parents give a damn. They make sure their children are educated. They send their children to first grade already reading. They correct the erroneous excrement that their children are taught. They spend endless hours teaching real mathematics. They provide their children the ability to teach themselves so their children can survive the abject failures of government school teachers. It has nothing to do with race.

The reason why many Blacks could not get admitted to universities based solely on academic merit is an indictment of our failing public education system and race hustlers who push the notion that Blacks are always victims who are powerless to change. Asians do much better not because of race but that they culturally reject the notion of victimhood and prize academic achievement. Affirmative action admissions to universities have done nothing to change the fundamental problems.

“In 2019, 15% of Baltimore City 4th graders tested ‘at or above NAEP proficient’ in math, and 13% did so in reading.”

I believe this is for the reading portion of the exam:
“Among 8th graders in Baltimore City, students averaged a 257, falling short of the 274 average that students scored in other large cities, and the 281 that was the national average, in 2019.”

Veteran urban public school teacher here. And I must point out that teacher unions have very little influence on what is being taught in the schools. Sure, they can huff and puff on the sidelines. And that’s about all they can do.

In my long career I was on quite a few curriculum committees. And never once was union imput asked for, or received.

What’s absolutely killing us are the university schools of education. They are now churning out totally insane administrators and consultants. These folks have little experience or knowledge regarding how kids actually learn.

Their goal is to convince school boards to include woke nonsense into the curriculum, and into the rules of discipline. In that they have been very successful.

“The student body at the schools served by Mount Vernon School District is 4.5% White, 65.8% Black, 1.6% Asian or Asian/Pacific Islander, 26.3% Hispanic/Latino...”

“And 78% of high school students tested at or above the proficient level for reading, and 45% tested at or above that level for math.”

It is the job of the:
1. school district to provide the buildings, materials and teachers
2. teachers to provide the supervision, necessary examples and feedback
3. students to provide the necessary attention and effort.

Higher “education” has been spoiled anyway, and affirmative action is the very least of it.

The education system’s failure to prepare non-white student.

Not just for non-white student almost all are dumbed down for a reason only the selected few who will rule will survive unless home schooled or private schools.
