Two reactions:

1) Why the HELL did the Florida House try to let dummies who can't get through the FCAT into community colleges? The high schools who didn't teach them should be paying for the remediation courses to get them to graduate--that money shouldn't be coming out of the community college budgets for students that deserve to be there learning higher concepts than high school level crap.

2) I PRAY the NAACP and Florida's other liberal black groups organize a boycott. As long as they start with ending the Black College Weekend in Daytona and the Heritage Bowl in Tampa while the FCAT is in place, I'll be happy. Knowing those events won't be screwing up traffic and producing a skyrocketing crime rate in those areas will be a dream come true. Hell, Daytona might start a ballot initiative to get FCAT into the Florida Constitution.

Colleges in Texas are testing on their own because they don't even trust the high school exit exams.

If it's the same as "freaknik," Galveston and Atlanta would like to be in that boycott.
