A somewhat related study regarding gender biases in education released a few days ago:

(The actual study is available at https://my.vanderbilt.edu/brendanbartanen/files/2021/10/gris... )

Black teachers and male teachers are rated lower during teacher observations than white teachers and female teachers, despite comparable or better outcomes for their students in test scores and student attendance.

Interestingly, the bias against male teachers is around twice the bias against Black teachers.
