California ends use of standardized tests for admissions
-
So much for poor but smart kids with good test scores getting ahead.
all this does is give an advantage to rich kids who have the resources to take part in meaningless extracurricular activities (e.g., starting a useless non-profit in hs, the ultimate signal of "leadership" and "a good personality").
I'm sure sport teams will also get better. Didn't they also pass some kind of legislation on ip that could be owned by college atheletes?

On Thursday, the California system’s governing board voted unanimously to extend [the] optional period for another year, and then become “test blind” for two years when determining whether to accept in-state applicants, using standardized tests only to award scholarships, determine course placement and assess out-of-state students.
In 2025, consideration of the SAT or ACT for any student’s admission, in or out of state, would be eliminated.The article also mentioned that UC will create its own test, so it will be using a test, not just SAT/ACT.

Why force students who might want to go to a UC school take a special test?
The only reason is so they can manipulate the test to get the desired outcome with respect to justifying their discrimination.

I have two thoughts about this:
1. This may backfire on the PC crowd. The UC faculty did a study that showed SAT/ACT increased representation, and that removing standardized testing could lead to decreased diversity.
2. (Not trolling.) I have been registered a democrat all my life, and always been a supporter of equality. I have been thinking about starting to vote Republican because the PC crowd is illegibly radical and advancing a worldview that makes race/gender/identity MORE prominent instead of less so. They want a world where children are judged by the color of their skin and not by the content of their character? What would MLK think of them?This sounds exactly like me. I don't like either side but I think Trmp has done all the bad things he is going to do and the other side is going to ruin America even more.

Hang on to that thought.

The O man deported more illegals than the T man. II hated the O man. In fact the O man would have deported many more if the Reps in congress had played ball, and gave him the money to hire 100s more immigration judges, to clear the backlog of cases.
The T man just wants a big useless symbol.
In any case, I still don't know how anyone could vote republican.
You're okay with illegal immigration without limit and never deporting anyone?
Why is nobody answering this question?
