Today, from the arcane depths of the peer reviewed literature,
effete cognitive scientists confront the dreaded *gapz*:

****************************** excerpt ****************************
The Black-White Achievement Gap in the First College Year
-- Evidence from a New Longitudinal Case Study

ABSTRACT
In the United States, an achievement gap between whites and blacks
persists at all levels of schooling from elementary school to higher
education. Definitive reasons and remedies for minority under-
performance REMAIN UNCLEAR...Controls for family background, parental
involvement, prior ability, cultural capital...and other factors
produce a moderate reduction in the achievement gap, but OVER HALF THE
*GAP* REMAINS UNEXPLAINED. [-snip-]
*******************************************************************

You just have to *love* these folks. Even with all their PhDs and
well-honed research skills, they JUST CAN>T FIGURE IT OUT.
The idea that Mother_Nature genetically created it that way just
never crossed their politically correct minds. Good grief, all
those factors they "controlled for" to reduce the apparent gap,
have genetic origins.

Perhaps these "educatorz" just don>t want to jeopardize their
skyrocketing academic careerz by 'spearheading' the *TRUTH*.

Who will stand up and "spearhead" the TRUTH ??
