I have evidence. In Texas we just received our school's scorecards. They show, at an aggregate, how my school (and district and state) performed at the annual exams for 2019 and 2021. The scores are broken out by some different demographics, such as: race, poverty, and disability.

As GP mentioned, the standard scores for black people, disabled people, and poor people dropped by more than the average. I had my eye on disabled people - and I was disappointed in the change!

So the current system is failing minorities and your response is let’s give this system more money, not I wish I could have my children educated by a more capable organization?

We should fund kids not systems.

Race in that case seems to be a confounded variable.
