The problem, of course, is twofold. First, the academic disparities do not have to do with race, per se.
For instance, using the 2023 ACT test results as a metric, once again, students in the four historically lowest performing groups (Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic, American Indian/Alaska Native, Black/African American) who aspired to a Graduate or Professional degree outscored students in the historically highest performing groups (Asian, White, Two or More Races) who aspired to a Two-Year College or Voc-Tech degree by as much as 42%. In other words, aspirations are a better predictor of student performance than the ACT’s anachronistic racial/ethnic categories.
Which brings us to the second problem. Skin tone is not a designator of "race". Black, White, Hispanic, etc. are not racial categories. We might as well be dividing people up by height. It would make far more sense to serve children in terms of their preparedness for a particular class. But, politics will always trump reason… especially in academia. And, I say that as a biological psychologist who's spent his entire life in academia teaching at the special ed, high school, and university level in both psychology and biology departments.
