TALLAHASSEE, Florida (AP) -- The NAACP filed a federal complaint against Florida's education department Thursday, seeking to stop use of statewide assessment tests until the achievement gap between minority and white students is eliminated.

The only hope Florida has to comply with the demand is to dumb down whites even more.
NAACP fingers cause of poor black education:
**The NAACP claims that Florida is violating its constitutional duty to provide a quality education to all students, saying schools that are mostly minority are not receiving the same resources and have inferior facilities. **
Every black school across the nation gets well above the average of what white schools get. So much for not the same resources. Inferior facilities? While I'm sure the school facilites recieve many times the abuse of facilities in white schools, the numerous new, luxerious schools for blacks across the country prove that superior facilities cannot improve black education.
Why is everyone in the media and the government to afraid too call the NAACP a bunch of racist idiots? This will end with much more money thrown at black schools, all without any boost to black scores.
If there is an environmental explanation for poor (chimpesque) black academic performance, it starts with the NAACP.

So they're to be permanently abolished, then?
Yeah, unfortunately, the only way this is going to realistically happen is to dumb the curriculum down to a level the Blacks can handle, and therefore appear "eekwal." That's a lot of finger painting for 11th grade!
