Pink is the new black, and there's more than one achievement gap ??? like the Hispanic-white gap, for example. Let's brainstorm solutions: Start nurturing minorities in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education, offer scholarships, take it to the courts, or hire a ??public relations guru ??? either way same-sex classrooms are out. And, whatever we do, we must be decisive (or Jay Greene will come after us!). I would look to NYC for advice (they've got increasingly diverse gifted kindergarten classes). But, this whole bake-in thing turns me off. Even Pepsi seems to be siding with Joel and Michelle.
