Rather than resorting to ad hominem attacks, which is all you've done thus far, can you please explain why the analysis is wrong? Note that Buchanan is only arguing that the school system is not as terrible as is commonly thought and that it can produce good educational outcomes, but that it tends to do so unequally across ethnic lines:
"What American schools are failing at, despite the trillions poured into schools since the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act, is closing the racial divide."
And even if Buchanan were to argue for racial differences in intelligence, what is so wrong with that? The wiki page you quoted implied that such discussion is prima facie evidence of racism, but why? Other kinds of racial differences beyond the obvious exist, particularly in the realm of health and nutrition. The CDC and NIH put out "racist" guidelines all the time, like the recent recommendation concerning African-Americans and salt intake.
To disallow such discussion because you dislike the conclusion that may result from it is close-minded, irrational and demonstrates a mindset not so different from that of the typical young-earth creationist.
