The way to boost Black men’s representation across the board in the professions is to boost Black boys’ educational attainment so Black male college grads aren’t so rare. Is prioritizing representation in teaching the key lever to achieving that goal? — PolitiTweet.org

That seems plausible. But mathematically, if more Black men went into teaching that would mean other educated professions would have even fewer Black men in them. What are the low-value areas where we’d be comfortable saying representation doesn’t matter as much? — PolitiTweet.org

It absolutely might be. But to seal the deal on the argument you need to consider not just the benefits of Black men in teaching, but the opportunity cost of those men not being in whatever other field — it’s a pretty complicated question. — PolitiTweet.org
