This Research Brief, spotlighting interesting academic work, originally appeared at The Conversation.

Racial and ethnic disparities in advanced math and science skills occur far earlier in the U.S. than previously known. Our new study finds that 13% of white students and 16% of Asian students display advanced math skills by kindergarten. The contrasting percentage for both Black and Hispanic students is 4%.

These disparities then continue to occur throughout elementary school. By fifth grade, 13% of white students and 22% of Asian students display advanced math skills. About 2% of Black students and 3% of Hispanic students do so. Similar disparities occur in advanced science skills.

What explains these disparities? Factors that consistently explain these disparities include the family’s socioeconomic status – such as parental education and household income – and the student’s own understanding of math, science and reading during kindergarten. . . more

Disney is the personification of evil. Disguise yourselves as friendlies, buy everything, target the children. Disney used to be pure. We live in sad times.

I watched the about video on the Walt Bismark channel. The author was a kid who created about 30 videos like this before going to college? That story sounds sketchy.

This came from a YouTube channel I forgot the name of. Of course it got banned. There are several other songs including one from the Lion King that goes, "Fall in liiiiine."

Walt Bismarck was the name. It's in the title of the video. I just noticed that.
