Yes, Girls Outperform Boys

The NY Times took the data below and decided that it was a big story. And it is. Now you might think the obvious conclusion from this data was: Girls consistently outperform boys in English skills. That is a big story. But the Times decided the story was:

Boys Outperform Girls in Math:
Rich, White and Suburban Districts

Yes. Ignoring the most important aspect of the report, they chose to make this a story about . . . wait for it . . . White Privilege.  White Privilege doesn’t appear to affect English skills, only math skills. The Times doesn’t really explain that, but, damn, those rich white kids sure do get math better. And isn’t that unfair?
