A famous line, not the least bit applicable to my point.

I have not suggested that people with less capacity cannot meet the modest expectations of our public school system; our expectations for all of our students are too low. Nobody is really challenged. The point is that differences in outcomes are still going to exist, and attributing them to "racism" is idiotic when the underlying cause is quite well known -- and no one wants to talk about it.
