Racial Disparities and Black Parents’ School Preferences: Evidence from a Survey Experiment - The Urban Review Nearly half of Black parents have access to public school choice, but choice may not provide equitable and supportive school environments. Qualitative research documents Black parents worries that majority-White schools with more resources and higher test scores may over-discipline, underestimate, and exclude their children. Yet large-scale studies rarely examine what Black families desire in potential schools, including how they navigate potential tradeoffs between high school quality and denigrating school racial climates. This survey experiment examines the extent to which test score gaps and suspension gaps between Black students and their non-Black peers deter Black parents from choosing schools with higher overall test scores and lower overall suspension rates. We randomly assign a large, national sample of Black parents (N = 1,677) to examine a school profile vignette where the school has overall high academic achievement and low suspensions rates but includes either one, both, or neither academic and discipline gaps to assess how test score and suspension disparities affect Black parents’ school preferences and perceptions. We find that racial disparities in student discipline and academic outcomes, on average, diminish Black families’ desires to enroll in high-achievement schools and their perceptions of student belonging. These findings align with qualitative research showing that well-resourced, high-achieving schools are less appealing to Black families when they marginalize Black students and that schools’ unequal punishment of Black students shapes Black parents’ evaluations of potential educational spaces.

New research by Todd Hall, Jeremy Prim, @drjae.bsky.social, and me:

Black families are 10 percentage points less likely to choose an otherwise high-quality school when it has large racial disparities in test scores and student discipline.

I'd just like to announce that I've fully met--and in fact exceeded--all of my objectives for today. What were those objectives? How dare you. The fact remains today was a historic victory for me, by any measure, with a capital "V"

This graph from ProPublica shows the large decline in SNAP participation in Arizona relative to other U.S. states in the five months following the passage of the "One Big Beautiful Bill".

Wow, just look at this graph www.propublica.org/article/ariz...

This speech is some of the most rambling, incoherent nonsense I’ve heard from this man, and that’s saying a lot

Update: I fed the same prompt to Claude, which had a different prediction (and better analysis IMO): "7–2 or 8–1 against the Executive Order, with the Court affirming that birthright citizenship under the 14th Am extends to children born on U.S. soil regardless of their parents immigration status."

Just for kicks I uploaded the transcript to ChatGPT and asked for an analysis and prediction of the ruling in today's SCOTUS case. FWIW it predicts, "Petitioners win 5–4 (possibly 6–3) with a narrow, forward-looking rule limiting birthright citizenship for children of unlawfully present parents."

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

Looking forward to ICE ending these long lines at TSA checkpoints the only way they know how -- dispersing tear gas and savagely assaulting anyone who's left

I consider the Simpsons part of a basic education

Professors & university staff were targeted & fired for less than this just a few months ago.

Can confirm

Did it really take 35 years to bring back MC Hammer for an ad campaign?

It’s the OG classical education model

Yes, I'm sure most Harvard and Stanford graduates look back on their college years and wish they had just skipped that whole experience for a digital app that trains you at home to work for McKinsey.

Why in the hell would Tennessee legislators vote to double vouchers for kids already in public school when the federal government just gave them a scholarship tax credit to pay for it instead?

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
