Just how are SAT and ACT scoring racist? I really don’t know.

As part of the settlement, the University of California system will pay $1.25 million in attorney fees to the lawyers who represented the plaintiff

Yeah, uh-huh.

Because of the fact of the bell curve of intelligence.

All the Head Start and whatever in the world can’t make up for an 80 IQ across a race.

When born, instead of a birth certificate, just give an automatic bachelor’s degree.

Solved!

Many years ago I heard a group making this claim. The only argument I remember was that the vocabulary was too white with words like “regatta” in it. As if all the white students attend the yacht races during spring break.

Who here thought the movie “Idiocracy” was a fictional comedy? Pretty soon it will need to be reclassified as a non-fictional documentary.

Pathetic. I’m increasingly embarrassed to hold a degree from the UC system.

So are they still using grades and grade point average then? If so, couldn’t those also be found to be a racist metric? Trying to think of where the end point to this reasoning is.

The ACT and SAT are excellent predictors of student success in college. They’re about as objective as you can get. Losing such a useful metric is almost guaranteed to hurt the integrity of the admissions process. But, that’s social justice for you, right?

A textbook example of prioritizing “equity” over “equality.”

So: we’re spending a couple trillion dollars on a so-called ‘infrastructure’ bill, while we’re dumbing-down the standards for the education of our future engineers and scientists?

Eliminating those tests is racist against Asians and Jews.

I guess it’s supposed to create ‘equity’ - whatever that means.

I understand the terms ‘equal’ and ‘equality’ - they are used in many of our documents - the Founding ones, the Civil Rights Act, etc.

But nobody has ever been able to explain to me what ‘equity’ means, outside of the financial sense, and how is it different from ‘equality’...?

Because all IQ tests accurately show intelligence to a measurable degree and the results can be devided by race and Bob’s your uncle.

Yes, that was an SAT analogy question. The correct answer was, "oarsman is to regatta as runner is to marathon."

There was a big stink about the question being culturally biased, which it obviously was. That question and other culturally biased questions were removed long ago. The issue is discussed in "The Bell Curve," written in 1994.
