In an interview with a Chicago radio station, Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates claimed that her students’ awful reading and math scores should be ignored because testing is “junk science” rooted in “white supremacy.”
“The way in which we think about learning and think about achievement is really and truly based on testing, which at best is junk science rooted in white supremacy,” Gates said in the interview, the Wall Street Journal reported.
“If you have another hour, I can get into why standardized tests are born out of the eugenics movement,” she added. “And the eugenics movement has always sought to see black people as inferior to those that are non-black…You can’t test black children with an instrument that was born to prove their inferiority.”
“When people talk to me about testing alone, I have to trouble the waters and challenge that,” she said.

According to the WSJ, listeners “weren’t buying it.” One person who called in stated that “racist” tests are no excuse for allowing black children to fail their classes.
“I want to say as a parent, standardized testing, we’re not ready to move beyond that right now…How can we say that it’s a racist tool? It might be but let me say this to you, I’ve passed every standardized test and I want my children to be able to do it.”
Reportedly, in 2022, The data shows that, in 2022, a mere 9 percent of Chicago’s black eighth graders were proficient in reading and only 4 percent were proficient in math, according to Wirepoints and the National Assessment of Educational Progress.
Gates sent her son to private school, WSJ noted.
Teacher’s Union President = No real education, no morals, and most definitely no brains. With this loser, failure IS an optoipn.
Oops, I made an “eddikator” mistake. That’s “option”.
Eugenics people, the same people who brought you Planned Parenthood.
Their goal is less school but more money so they can focus on activism and as an arm of the RAT party.
Replace math with gay theory and alternative intersectional sexualities.
With an opinion like that, all of the kids being taught by that union are doomed from the start.
Okay, Let’s have ALL MEDICAL SCOOLS stop testing................
Somebody should just, like, put a bunch of money into making these woke public-school teachers come up with a curriculum/syllabus they feel is appropriate for school kids - and then just publicize and make fun of it for the edification of parents, i.e. - “This is what your kids’ teachers think is an appropriate curriculum!”
Record the results. (What? The school system is already a joke! How will a little dose of reality hurt them, at this point?)
Stacy needs to take her retarded keister back to Africa where they don’t have “white supremacy” tests. She needs to stop punishing herself by staying in evil America. Skank!
Sure, thats the reason. Can’t be that they are mostly feral when they hit the school and have the average IQ of about 60-65, naw, it’s absolutely white supremacy, climate change and moon Nazi’s.
Standardized testing is bad because of origins in the eugenics movement but ignore that abortion and planned parenthood are actually born of the eugenics movement.
Gates on the right.
“They not like us...”
I guess keeping score on sports games is also junk science.
But at least they’ll have a bogeyman to blame which trumps education on the left.
I thought teachers union would embrace junk science seeing how they believe a student can change sex just by declaring it so.
So she is opposed to standardized tests because they purportedly have their roots in the eugenics movement but she is totally down with Planned Parenthood which was founded by the Margret Sanger. Sanger was one of the founders of the eugenics movement and was an advisor to Adolph Hitler on how to eradicate blacks, Jews and other inferiors from the gene pool .
Sanger founded Planned Parenthood with an express intent to terminate the black race So one man’s eugenicist is another man’s abortion hero
Retired teacher here. The test scores are disastrous for a couple of reasons, one of which has nothing to do with race. Kids in school have lost two to three years of classroom learning because of the China virus. Kids now in fourth, fifth and sixth grade are showing the results.
And then there’s the inherent racism of low (or in many cases) no expectations—for both black students and theirteachers in many parts of the country. Oregon has dropped the requirement that students be able to demonstrate that they can read or do math to graduate from high school, because that’s ‘racist’.
If you expect and require nothing, that’s what you’ll get.
