RACE AND INTELLIGENCE.

The article analyzes the doctrine authored by Cornelius Jansen, Bishop of Ypres, which has been labeled jensinism. The argument consists of an elaboration on two incontrovertible facts: a causative explanation and a programmatic conclusion. These facts state that black people perform more poorly than whites on standard IQ tests, and that special programs of compensatory education were not successful in removing this difference. For the rest of Jensen's article puts the blame for the failure of his science not on the scientists but on the children. According to Jensen, it is not science and its practitioners that have failed to understand human motivation, behavior, and development, but the fact that the kids are ineducable.
