According to a new study published in the Educational Researcher, Americans care more about the academic gaps between poor and wealthy students than they care about gaps between minority students and white students.

“We find that Americans are more concerned about — and more supportive of proposals to close — wealth-based achievement gaps than Black-White or Hispanic-White gaps,” researchers wrote. “High-income, low-income, and White respondents all indicated it was a higher priority to close poor-wealthy gaps than to close Black-White and Hispanic-White gaps.”
