The result will likely be to declare the test racist and lower the standards even more.

In this majority Black city here, the parents were upset (and protesting) about the high number of Black students who were failing and would not be allowed to attend the graduating ceremonies.

So...the solution was to allow the failed students to walk across the stage in cap and gown just like the successfully graduating students and receive an envelope containing a 'certificate of attendance' while the others contained diplomas. No-one knew who passed or failed the envelopes and handshakes, etc were the same.

The outrage was about appearances....nobody apparently cared that the kids failed.....just don't embarrass them.
