Once again, the government is going to step in and 'fix' something. The situation will be made worse for their good intentions.

From Roger Clegg: The principal underlying problem for educational (and a variety of other social) disparities among racial and ethnic groups is the disparity in illegitimacy rates, as I note here: http://www.discriminations.us/2010/01/new_report_on_educational_cris.html So, I hope the Representatives will bear this in mind.
