How has the current education system performed for black and brown communities over the past fifty years, and why should we question preserving the status quo? - FinalLayer

The current education system has significantly failed black and brown communities over the past half century, showing little meaningful progress or improvement. This stagnation raises critical questions about why political figures and institutions continue to defend and preserve a system that clearly isn't working for minority students. The discussion highlights a broader pattern where the status quo fights to maintain existing structures despite their documented failures. This resistance to change in education parallels other institutional failures, suggesting that preserving the current system may serve other interests rather than actually benefiting the communities it claims to serve. The call for accountability in education reflects a growing movement questioning not just educational outcomes, but the motivations behind maintaining systems that perpetuate inequality and underperformance in minority communities.
