FASCINATING – AT 10:26 A.M. ET:  Is the Trump Effect beginning to impact Britain?  Maybe so.  From Heatstreet: 

With its new summer school program, Oxford University is seeking to increase educational opportunities for one particular underprivileged group: white, working-class males.

This week’s announcement comes after the Office of Fair Access, a British education regulator, instructed universities last month to make this demographic a “strategic priority” in the coming years. Last year, the Office of Fair Access’s director, Les Ebdon, said white male students’ failure to get a college education was “a shocking and avoidable waste of talent.”

A study by the Sutton Trust, an education charity, released last November, found that fewer than one-fourth of the UK’s poor white boys met basic proficiency standards in key subjects. Moreover, it found that just 45 percent of white British students were college-bound.

Poor, white boys were “less likely than anybody else in Britain to go university,” Theresa May recently said. That’s not quite true—Gypsy/Roma students have even poorer college prospects. But standardized tests show that white, working-class students chart lackluster scores, even as their peers in other disadvantaged ethnic groups showed dramatic improvement in academic performance over the past decade.

“We need a more concerted effort with white, working-class boys, in particular,” the Sutton Trust’s chairman said in November.

COMMENT:  One part of the Trump effect is that it encourages institutions to look at groups that have been neglected, often because of political correctness.  "The forgotten American," the phrase used by Trump during the campaign, originated during the Depression to describe Americans who'd been left behind by a crumbling economy.   There are new forgotten Americans today, and apparently there are forgotten Brits as well.
