Rep. Mike Honda (D-Sacramento) points out that men of color significantly trail behind most students on achievement and school completion scales. African American, Hispanic, Native American and Asian American men are outperformed by their female counterparts in each racial grouping by 9%, 9%, 7%, and 2 %, respectively.
“We must address this crisis and quickly,” Honda wrote in an article appearing in the Jan. 26 Huffington Post. “While Asian Americans are over-represented in the top scores, they are also over-represented in the bottom scores.”
