However, you cannot, on the one hand, believe schools are guilty of grooming and indoctrination (which they are), yet on the other hand, excuse them from massive educational underperformance.

You've conflated 2 things.
Are schools overall underperforming for ALL students? Answer. Yes. And on that point, your assertion applies.
However it has NOTHING to do with the GAPS in performance between blacks and everyone else.
Schools have as much or more time with kids than their parents do. They have tremendous ability to influence, educate, and to impact attitude, if not aptitude. Regardless of the latter, to contend that ANY group is adequately served by a 3% college readiness amongst HS grads is flatly stupid.
That FACT has nothing whatsoever to do with the associated truth that our kids are all underserved by the same underperforming system, regardless of race, culture, creed, or gender. It's just that the 3% number is so glaring, so inexcusable, so inexplicable, that it seals the argument before debate even begins.
