Those same factors explain a large portion of differences in educational achievement. Doesn't that mean the test is then doing what it is designed to do?

- chx 5y agoYour answer is as shortsighted and stems from the same fundamental misunderstanding as those given to "defund the police". We need to change education itself so it is not a tool of systemic racism. Which currently, based on that study, it is. In a sense you are right: yes, it does its job if the job is to be the canary in the coal mine. But we did away with canaries in the coal mines and made the mines more secure.
