Fact Check: Are Black Women 'The Most Educated Demographic,' as Rep. Jasmine Crockett Claimed?

Controversial Texas Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett has made waves yet again by claiming that the Los Angeles Fire Department’s DEI policies haven’t hindered its ability to respond to wildfires since black women are America’s most educated demographic.

Do those facts line up with the truth, however? Not so much, it seems.

First, the background: As you’re no doubt aware, fires in Southern California have decimated the city of Los Angeles and surrounding communities. As of Friday, at least 11 were dead and over 10,000 homes and other structures had been burned to the ground, according to The Wall Street Journal.
