My big problem with Murray and indeed proponents of CRT is that they take a top down approach rather than a bottom up approach (group v individual) and therefore the poor value that some schools and indeed school boards give in providing basic education in literacy and numeracy is overlooked or excused. Ultimately it has to be how does a society create social (and occupational) mobility and ensure that the obstacles to the same are not solely derived from ancestry (including skin tone).
You might also find the latest UK Commons report on education interesting. It does deal with the attainment gap of poor white-British boys. https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5802/cmselect/cmeduc/85/8504.htm#_idTextAnchor001 The UK of course remains much more of a class based society with all of the ancestral implications than the US.
