"When asked why, Phillips said she didn't now why but "students of lower socioeconomic status or those from certain demographic groups tend to be in schools where teachers have less experience" and "teachers who are not originally educated in the fields that they teach".

Huh. Isn't she suggesting that "white people are privileged" and that POC have a harder time getting ahead because of the limitations that exist in their schools?

And this unfortunate, pervasive, and persistent reality is part of the CRT umbrella, "critical race theory" being originally the academic term referring to the reality that racism isn't just the obvious avenues of discrimination....which can be legislated to eliminate....but also the ways in which it is insidiously built into the system. Becoming aware of these systemic barriers is the first step toward working to eliminate them.
