Law Professor, Lino Graglia, Claims Minority Students Are Failing Due To Being Raised By Poor Single Women

University of Texas law professor Lino Graglia has sparked outrage after making a statement claiming Black students are failing due to being raised by poor single women.

Law professor Lino Graglia said in an interview with BBC

“hardly imagine a less beneficial or more deleterious experience than to be raised by a single parent, usually female, uneducated and without a lot of money.”

The professor says Black students score 200 points lower than students of Caucasian descent and that among the Black population, almost three quarters of children are now born outside of marriage.

The outspoken professor appeared slightly embarrassed when the BBC interviewer pointed out that he was Black and raised in a single parent family himself.

But the law professor continued: “How well do these kids do in math and reading is basically it and they do less well.”

“And race or segregation or history wouldn’t matter one bit if that was not the case.

No doubt the race and segregation may have a lot to do why that’s the case, but it is the case and what to do about it now?”

“And admitting them into selective schools with large gaps in qualification is not the answer.”

Lino Graglia is no stranger to controversy. In 1997, he was accused of racism after telling a conservative student group that black and Mexican-American cultures ‘set children up for failure’.

He said: ‘They have a culture that seems not to encourage achievement.

‘Failure is not looked upon with disgrace.’

In response the League of United Latin American Citizens demanded he resign issuing a resolution which stated: ‘Graglia believes that minority students come from a culture of failure.

‘He knows nothing of our culture and has never crawled down from his ivory tower to find out.
