Yes I know, all three, but which one is top of the list
The problem is that, because of the influence of the Frankfurt School on every institution in the United States, the school were gradually straitjacketed in their ability to create environments appropriate for teaching and learning. All methods which tended to distinguish between the highly intelligent/diligent on the one hand, and the stupid and slacker on the other, were increasingly eliminated. This was because the outcome was deemed racist, due to patterns that would naturally emerge. Discipline, also, had to go, because that would naturally also result in patterns along racial lines, which the left would characterize as due to racism, rather than being due to natural differences connected to race. And now little if any teaching can actually take place, apart from the advanced tracks that tend to be racially uniform. I'm certain, however, that advanced tracks, too, will soon be eliminated for the same reasons.


^^^Nailed it. And if you acknowledge the empirical data on racial differences in intelligence and academic performance, you are banished from the public square, made into the worst kind of pariah and marginalized to the point of non-existence. Everyone should read Charles Murray's "Coming Apart" and "Facing Reality". The story of Amy Wax is illustrative, a top-notch academic (MD, JD and PHD from Ivy League schools) is being drummed out of academia for having the temerity to admit what everyone knows is true: blacks in academia don't do very well (50% of the blacks in her classes are in the bottom 10%) and for inviting Jared Taylor to speak to her law school class about race-realism. She's been fighting cancer. They don't care. They're trying to destroy her.
