THE GREAT AMERICAN ACHIEVEMENT GAP
There is a curiously illogical, great, "hue and cry" about closing the achievement gap between oppressed black, and privileged white, school children, all over America.
That shrill shill puts the cart before the ox. Frankly, it is dumber than a door nail!
Close the well-known, centuries old, and purposefully imposed, American monetary-property gaps, and the legal-civil rights gaps, first! Then, the so-called, and much ballyhooed, "achievement gap" will close on its own, being the inexorable product of the others!
