And your argument that they can't is the fraudulent and racist
argument that echoes white supremacy that no one can reduce these gaps
and that therefore trying to reduce these gaps between whites and
blacks/Hispanics hurts whites, this fraudulent and racist argument
based on your mathematically stupid argument that if everyone was
educated as well as they could be educated, then these gaps must grow
and not shrink.
Never mind that the data shows that the gaps have been shrinking long
term, even with whites increasing their performance, as I in
"Re: Imaginary Teacher Shortage"
http://mathforum.org/kb/message.jspa?messageID=7909690
showed using the NAEP data. Look at the charts and stop denying them -
stop denying fact with fraudulent, racist, and mathematically stupid
claims.
