Working-Class White Boys Are Being Failed By The Educational Establishment
Who knew? Well, certainly not the educational Establishment. It barely knows that there are boys at all. It doesn't like to admit to its own whiteness, never mind acknowledge anybody else's. And it is genuinely oblivious to the existence of the white working class, except as depicted on Little Britain or The Catherine Tate Show. Even there, of course, the teenage characters are girls, not boys. So who even knew that there were any such creatures as working-class white boys? No one who matters, obviously.
