No tests no disparity
No border..no country.,
Simple
My guess is that, for sure, it will reduce the value of the education.
Will Eliminating Standard Tests Really Reduce Racial Disparities In Education?
—
Yes it will. They will all be dumb, stupid and ill-educated, aka perfect Democrat voters.
It will not stop social promotion or putting some young people in places they just have not been prepared for ... all eliminating testing will do is double down on stupid.
Doubling down on stupid is just how progressives roll.
Another area that hurts the black population that the white media claims helps them.
Being put in an arena where you are not qualified to succeed does no one any favors. One ends up dropping out and being a failure.
It also encourages people taking majors that are easy but have no real future as a profession. About the only thing that black studies as a major qualifies one for in a real job situation is teaching black studies.
I could almost guarantee that the person kicked out of Harvard solely to make room for an affirmative action candidate will still be more successful than the one he was replaced by and as a bonus will owe less in student loans.
It’s hard work teaching blacks..Easier to promote them and just take their money in college..No testing needed...Easy life,easier money......
Standard tests are essentially IQ tests. They have a very accurate predictive value on how a given individual will do in legitimate college level courses. After the “equity” offensive succeeds in eliminating the standardized tests, next legitimate couses especially the STEM disciplines will be targeted.
This nonsense cheats every single property owner that is paying for the school system.
Employers in the near future will discover just how IGNORANT these ‘students’ really are.
They will be COMPLETELY UNEMPLOYABLE.
BEYOND “Dumbing down of America”.

Students, do you see a problem here?
Where is it?
What should be done about it?
Yes it will, because it keeps everybody functioning at a lower level.
>>My guess is that, for sure, it will reduce the value of the education.<<
Just as EEO has cast a pall on professionals of color, particularly doctors.
This reminds me of what a professor friend learned about admission standards. He taught at a small engineering university that had some of the highest rated graduates in the country. He explained that the facility was not particularly great, but they had such high admission standards that the graduates came out great.
The “affirmative admission” universities will find the same thing: just as great admission standards result in great graduates, poor admission standards result in poor graduates. The universities will turn out duds, and it will become quickly known. Harvard and Cal Tech will quickly get beat out by Funkley Community College.
Yes they will because without independent assessment of learning, teachers will be pressured to give everyone an "A".
and make some people feel even more adequate and victims.
It will not alter the Bell Curve.
Deal with it.
have these people seen what job interviews look like these days? don't know about other fields(they'd almost have to have some test) but you gotta take a test for software jobs, IF, you manage to actually get an interview, and if they don't ask you to test even before the live show
This is only the beginning. The schools will have to dumb down the curriculum too. Can’t have more blacks drop out of college than they already do. Soon, a college education will be no better than high school
.
I read an article a few years ago about a study of these rejected White people. It showed how most/many were forced to start their own small companies (usually services type) to have a descent job.
Conclusion, " most are quietly getting rich."
