A lawsuit, once again being heard by Justice Wood, is already pending, with the plaintiffs arguing that there is no clear evidence strong literacy skills are essential for a teacher.

Wait until AA surgeon and engineer quotas are enforced.
Wow. That is in and of itself “discriminatory”.
Which will die first...... New York or Los Angeles?
Affirmative Action for morons!
Can we get this in a test for all potential presidential candidates? OBIE would've flunked it.
That's retarded, sir...
Good old 80/20 rule and disparate impact....
What, no Ebonics version of the exam? That’s racist.
Affirmative Action is a prohibition of excellence.
2 + 2 = whatever you want it to be, provided that it doesn’t discriminate against anyone, gender neutral, isn’t hateful and that it provides a politically correct answer.
Pg. 22 is the linear relationship. Got it right!

America has become silly.
This is a really, really bad decision. It hurts everyone involved, including minority teachers. I can only hope that this decision is reversed on appeal.

I wonder what black teachers in NY, having passed the test themselves, really think about this.
Their silence is deafening.
If Common Core takes root - as Jeb Bush wants very badly - what the teachers know or don’t know won’t matter anyway.
CC will take away all independence, all creativity, all discretion from the teachers and the entire school system, and replace it with their own instructions on what to teach, what to say, what answers to give to student’s questions, and even how and when to discipline.
This, while the ruling class’s kids will get a quality education free from CC with exceptional teachers.
Liberal judges can rule out testing and play games of “enforced” equality. They may even fool themselves into believing they’ve achieved some sort of perfection of equality. There is one thing immune to PC posturing and that’s the physical world itself. If one does not understand the physical world, no phony diluted degree is going to paper over that fact. Make the wrong decision in the physical world and you’re dead.
As an example, envision an electrician granted a license not because they understand the concepts of electrical transmission, but because they fulfill a quota. That ungrounded 220 volt 200 amp panel will be the ultimate arbiter of knowledge, and a very harsh judge indeed. An instant pass / fail exam, one might say.
If one group is too ignorant to pass a test it is not due discrimination, it is their lack of preparation. For example, if we have identical twin Greyhounds, one is fed properly, exercised and trained, and the other is fat, undisciplined and lays around all day sleeping, which will win every race?
next up, lawsuits designed to stop administering qualifying tests for airline pilots and brain surgeons.
