Emerge magazine investigates the system of "tracking" in American schools which almost always places white students on upper-level, "gifted" tracks and black or Hispanic students on "dumb" tracks.

Meanwhile, on the "dumb" track, minority students have less interesting, less challenging classes to choose from and lower expectations. (Sept. 1996)
