The problems here are not related to color but to corrup officials. This state has been given plenty of money and very, very, very little of it gets to the kids and certainly not to the teachers. The academic level of teachers in Mississippi should produce twice the current student academic level but it is impossible with no supplies, no equipment, empty labs or no labs, no travel expense funds, of couse, low pay. Corruption is huge and no one wants to face it as too many are involved.

at least purports to ‘level’ the gateway into such programs – isn’t such an unambiguously great idea after all? Leaving counselling & decisions entirely up to the kindness and goodwill of teachers/administrators has serious downsides too.
