Is "The Bell Curve" a Ringer?
Wangler, David G.
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v41 n3 p360-66 Sep 1995
Calls for careful but unemotional criticism of "The Bell Curve." Notes that: three chapters that deal with the IQ-race relationship have received most critical attention; genetically based racial categories do not exist; disadvantaged minority-group students have achieved success in Catholic schools with high expectations of students; and social and educational problem solving requires consideration of social values.
