"Dr. Gutierrez' scholarship focuses on equity issues in mathematics education, paying particular attention to how race, class, and language affect teaching and learning."


If she concluded "they need more 2-parent families, their parents need to work with them more at home when they're particularly young, and they need to try harder" then she'd be unemployed. The only way she keeps getting money is if she can keep focusing on "equity issues" in "race".

Note it doesn't say IF it is due to race. It says HOW it is due to race.

race, class, and language all affect education. It's an accepted fact within education. I'd argue class is the biggest factor (and one of the reasons why we lag behind many other nations), but there's racial and language implications there. The current trend in education is finding ways to meet the diverse needs of our learners .

It also doesn't end with those three factors, but given that she is a latina woman, I can see why she focuses her own work in that area.
