30 years ago what inspired me to teach was volunteering with adolescent youth from 'the hood' and noticing the same level of perception, connection, and wit I experienced with my non-Black peers from high school through college (b.s, engineering). The reason so many did not end up as I did was the horrendous job of imparting that secondary knowledge/crystallized intelligence our urban schools have done.
I cannot argue against Murray's data, but my experience doesn't consist with it.
