Do you have any proof of this? I have given a source that states that by placing black children in a different environment, you can improve results. I also know of teachers with first hand experience in this area that support this idea so this isn't just a random article that contradicts reality.
Then that also brings up the question on why my brother and I had such different grades in high school. My best friend and his twin sister also had different grades too. Can you explain this if the sole factor is family?

Genetically, of course, but social pressures can have a large influence on people. If I take a kid with brown eyes and a kid with blue eyes with equal intelligence capacity and raise them to believe that people with blue eyes are genetically inferior to people with brown eyes, do you think even with the same family and school system that they will produce similar educational results?

Yes, it is an enormous factor. Why do you think they are trying to change the environment for black kids?
