We tried this with NCLB, and it did not work. The only way to close the achievement gap between two races separated by one standard deviation in IQ is not to teach anyone anything. And even that would be foiled by white and Asian parents teaching their children at home. Now that Bush is retired, he should have time to read "The Bell Curve".

Former President George W. Bush called the achievement gap between white and black children a national scandal on Thursday and urged both parties to come together to address it as the central civil rights issue of the modern era.Whatchootalkinbout Dubya? You admitting No Child Left Behind is a monumental failure?

Seeing as the average black student has an IQ of 85, the only way to "close the achievement gap" is to dumb the non-black students down.
Enter Common Core.

Let’s be fair. George W. was probably the best democrat president of the last 100 years.
