I am not gonna bother reading his ruling.
So I'll ask someone who has ... WHAT was his rationale?????
That poor students were not given the same resources and educational opportunities as richer ones, and they were therefore discriminated against.
What that overlooks is that the test is so dumbed-down (it's said to be at the level an 8th grader would ordinarily attain) that no matter how dismal your educational conditions, you should be able to pass it. Maybe your school didn't have a Nobel laureate teaching math like some school in Palo Alto, but even you, matriculating at a campus where the teachers are all drunks and time-servers, ought to be able to get through it.
The article did not say but from what I read at other sites the rationale was "All schools are not created equal...".
Well at least you could read it. The Graduating class again doesn't have to read to graduate!
