This is a pretty argument if you can even call it that. He's basically saying that anti-testing policy isn't popular. There's no substantive argument. It sounds like one of his kids missed admission to a preferred school and now he's whining in The Atlantic.
It's a sucky predicament to just ask schools to solve discrimination. And, more to his point, to ask white parents to potentially sacrifice their own kids' education for the good of the many. I think school admissions are the culmination of so many other societal errors. We wouldn't have such a fight over school admissions if our schools weren't so unequal. And our schools wouldn't be so unequal if our housing wasn't so unequal. Stopping testing-based admissions is like throwing a monkey wrench into an injustice machine.
