California science fair project tying race, IQ sparks outcry

I'd love to see a fair scientific look at the question posed by the student. I don't think anyone should be punished for asking, or researching, even if it does hurt feelings.
But this kid wasn't doing that.

The student tested his race and intelligence hypothesis by having a handful of unidentified teens of various racial and ethnic backgrounds take an online intelligence test.
His report concluded that the lower average IQs "of blacks, Southeast Asians, and non-white Hispanics" means they were not as likely as "non-Hispanic whites and Northeast Asians" to get into the academically rigorous program. He said the test results justified the racial imbalance in the program.

You can not draw those conclusions from that data, not that that's enough data points to draw any conclusions from.
There seems to be no controls for things like affluence and culture.
It's very very bad science.
Almost like he was trying to fit the facts to a chosen narrative and cause a scene to upset people and get attention. But that's just speculation.

Still, he should not be silenced, he should be publicly corrected and encouraged to redo the study with more rigorous methods.

The project by a Sacramento high school student enrolled in an elite magnet program, titled "Race and IQ," questioned whether certain races lack the intelligence for the program's academically challenging coursework.
