In both cases, the problem is not that we have not been taught enough, but that we are not smart enough.

There has been a lot of comment about this essay by Murray. I have read his books, and agree with them. But he is off course on what can be taught to lower IQ people. They can learn if the material is presented more slowly, using different methods than you use for higher IQ.

A lot of education blogs that I respect all hit this point in their assessment of this column. Murray's problem is that he invented his "IQ hammer" for this situation, and now everything he sees is a "nail."
