The Learning Policy Institute shows that teachers of color boost the academic performance of students of color.

What’s the turnover rate for teachers of color based on the racial breakdown of the student body? Are Black teachers more likely to leave Black students behind to work in a predominately white district? Are Black teachers more likely to leave the teaching profession period?

Heaven forbid we look at the actual data. It might produce a result not favorable to our perception.

7% is a statistics rounding error, this is nothing more than a $2,000,000 grift.
