The schools can shrug and say if the test is discriminatory, it is the city’s fault, since it’s their test, so sue Bloomberg. And good luck with that.
Bottom line, pick about any standardized test and black students will do poorer on it than other students. This is not the fault of the test. Nor does it mean that black students should get something they have not achieved.
Sorry. At some point, society has to put its foot down and accept that losers are losers, and deserve no support if they cannot or will not improve themselves.
While indeed there was discrimination in the past, it is almost entirely gone, so the rules to correct it need to be gone as well.
I don’t expect that to happen until the government is no longer around to make people listen to the whines of the Jesse Jacksons of the world.
