Many students who are in jeopardy of not graduating have already been accepted to colleges and some have received athletic scholarships, Mr. Curry said, which shows they have already succeeded on some academic level.

If they can't pass a test that requires only 40% correct answers, I wonder what kind of scores they make on the SAT? My guess is they have someone else take the SAT for them.

Mr. Curry should be outraged at educators who are committing a form of fraud when they issue passing grades to students who then can't pass the state test.

It would support the claim that blacks get extra points for the color of their skin and not the content of their knowledge, on their college applications.
