For example, the achievement of the average African-American 12th grader measures at the achievement of the average White 9th grader. Clearly justice and equity demand that Americans enshrine in law the noble goal of closing this gap. It's a good thing educators are rallying around legislation to close the gap and not resorting to phony and toxic tactics like suing to block it because it is an "unfunded mandate." No responsible educators would stoop that low, would they, neaguy? Art
