By now, you’ve well heard about the abysmal student test scores that were recently released in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Wisconsin has the shameful distinction of having the largest gap of any state between black and white students in fourth grade.

In case you couldn’t access it because of the paywall, we’ve excerpted it for you.
