The trend is to either eliminate these exams or make them so easy that everyone passes. Why? Because we are unable to deal with the fact that certain ethnic groups consistently fail at dramatically higher rates than others. See the movement to eliminate the SAT and LSAT, to eliminate magnet programs, etc.

- richrichardsson 4y ago> the fact that certain ethnic groups consistently fail at dramatically higher rates than others I'm having a lot of trouble with this statement. It leaves the reader to guess at which are the groups in question, and for no good reason. If it is indeed a fact why not link a credible source?

- subtra3t 4y agoAnd of course you refuse to talk about the reason why those particular ethnic groups fail at higher rates. Your also comment suspiciously reminds me of eugenics.
