The "Obama Effect" for test scores

There is an interesting article about the possible positive side effects of having an African American in the highest office in the country.
Check out this article.
This is very interesting considering the Nieto chapter 2 we just read about African American children not wanting to succeed at school because it negates their culture.

I would love it to have a positve effect on students scores. I guess we will have to wait and see. It may also influence teachers perceptions off african american students.
