Standardized tests are bullshit but DAMN this is one of the most insulting things I ever read in my life.

> Standardized tests are bullshit

What is this based on? I'm listening to a #Destiny video where he said the exact opposite lol

He claimed they are "G-rated" and good tests of mental aptitude. Not sure what that means for me since I got like a 95% on the reading and English parts of the tests and like 60% on the math parts of the tests lol

this is from RT, fwiw
the specific bill is SB744, which doesn't actually remove any requirements, you still need to know how to read to pass HS
it's just a bill that directs the department of education to review requirements and compare with other states, as well as examine anything that could be a barrier to achievement by minorities and see how they can solve that
doesn't seem to do much declaratively, certainly not remove all requirements for graduation

@chjara depends what they consider 'a barrier to minorities then'

@Rasp @chjara despite the deliberately inflammatory headline it sounds like they’re just getting up to speed with equality of opportunity, like most civilised nations.
