It doesnt make it invalid because you dont like the results. Your obsession with white supremacy can be seen as a disorder. We are back to the same fundamental failure in African American culture. No father
Children raised in two-parent households generally demonstrate higher academic success, graduation rates, and college enrollment. This "two-parent privilege" primarily stems from a greater accumulation of resources—including combined household income, shared childcare duties, and increased overall parental involvement. [

Key ways two-parent families foster educational success include:

Black and white students living with their fathers get mostly A’s at roughly equal rates—more than 85%—and are equally unlikely to experience school behavior problems. The achievement gap, in other words, appears to be less about race and more about the structure and stability of the family.
The most effective intervention in education is not another literacy coach or SEL program. It’s dad.

Student Achievement. What Should We Do with That?
Robert Pondiscio
A recent report from the University of Virginia—
Good Fathers, Flourishing Kids—confirms what many of us know instinctively but rarely see, or avoid altogether, in education debates: The presence and engagement of a child’s father has a powerful effect on their academic and emotional well-being. It’s the kind of data that should stop us in our tracks—and redirect our attention away from educational fads and toward the foundational structures that shape student success long before a child ever sets foot in a classroom.
The research, led by my AEI colleague Brad Wilcox and co-authored by a diverse team that includes another AEI colleague, Ian Rowe, finds that children in Virginia with actively involved fathers are more likely to earn good grades, less likely to have behavior problems in school, and dramatically less likely to suffer from depression. Specifically, children with disengaged fathers are 68% less likely to get mostly good grades and nearly four times more likely to be diagnosed with depression. These are not trivial effects. They are seismic.
Most striking is the report’s finding that there is
no meaningful difference in school grades among demographically diverse children raised in intact families. Black and white students living with their fathers get mostly A’s at roughly equal rates—more than 85%—and are equally unlikely to experience school behavior problems. The achievement gap, in other words, appears to be less about race and more about the structure and stability of the family.
