The study found that, yes, SATs tend to yield lower scores to black students than white students of equal achievement and merit. See you just need to understand he just misspoke {:-)

Teachers who fail minority students don’t tend to last long.

Teachers have been taken to court for being too tough on grades, guess which side the unions take. Teachers have been ordered by court to raise grades, been there.

Note to self, go to bed before you make disjointed comments.

Sounds like I was the recipient of the court ordered grade.

Night.

Race should have no legal baring on anything.

Is “legal baring” what occurs when a lawyer displays his briefs?

““The study found that, yes, SATs tend to give lower scores to black students than white students of equal achievement and merit.””

And what other test did they use to determine that they were “of equal achievement and merit.” I thought that’s what the SAT was for.

Actually affirmative action is worse than typical racism. Why is that?

Because Affirmative Action is STATE SANCTIONED RACISM. Racism with fascist overtones.

It’s unbelievable that the Liberal swine just don’t see how racist/fascist they are.

Ridicule through satire is effective and easily recognized by most.

To spell it out, the SAT questions aren’t biased, and the fake question makes fun of the whole idea.

Exactly. Let’s also do some track and field affirmative action since Blacks dominate it so the playing field can be leveled. Since Whitey can’t run as fast Black people have Whitey started ahead of them.

Let's see if I've got this right: In order to prevent racism from occurring, we have to practice institutionalized racism against those we are certain (as we define it) are racists.

So racism practiced by A against B,C, and D is BAD, but racism is GOOD when practiced by B and C against A and B? What happens if you have other combinations? Is that good or bad racism? I am confused, but then I'm not a liberal who's got this all straight in his or her thinking . . . not.

Rhetorical question: Why are such colossal piles of glittering ignorance allowed to vote and to breed? Talk about the dumbing down of society by the “best and brightest”.

The amazing thing about this is that these idiot Libs don’t see they are being made fun of by the whole event, and just see this as another opportunity to quash 1A protest speech. So “liberal”, another perfectly good word ruined by the Left, much like “gay”.

Libs and Lefties are the most humorless people you can find. They cannot take criticism and they cannot think. They are bound in emotions and have no logic about them. All they want to do is enforce a Stalinist-like “group think” on everyone. They are the quintessential group of lemmings running off the cliff and following the rest of the herd.

It’s a joke. Irony for the sake of levity. Lighten up.

You’re welcome, and I try.

And when I don’t, I admit same and apologize. Did that recently in another thread, even though part of the problem was that the poster I was responding to didn’t make clear he was quoting another post.
