Excellent article. I believe that some of the fault lies with our K-12 educational system and the curriculum presently favored for reading instruction, Balanced Literacy. Proficiency rates for reading are abysmal. Phonics must make a comeback. Academic competence will lead to a better chance for success.
The Democratic Party wholly owned education system is optimized to render blacks unable to read or do math at anything close to grade level proficiency. Numerous public schools in Baltimore have not a single student testing at grade proficiency. Not a single student. Public school teachers k-16 (yes university too) and administrators “took the soup” to borrow a phrase from the Irish Famine.
