@amuse @amuse DEI: Chicagos teachers insisted that higher pay would unlock student success. The city obliged, hiking per-student spending by 70 percent and boosting average teacher salaries to $100,000. The result? Failure on a grander scale. Today, just 11 percent of black students in Chicago are proficient in reading a tragic monument to the bankrupt promises of a broken system.

Mississippi has the best demographic-adjusted NAEP (4th & 8th grade) scores now

It doesnt make sense to blame the so called gender wage gap on racism or sexism when Asian Women are out earning White Men.
The wage gap is better explained by differences in behaviors.
