As I recall it, the SAT Verbal I took in 1961 rephrased passages from literature. One passage rephrased A. Huxley and then offered multiple choice answers. The answer that would be considered correct required the test taker to affirm evolution. I intentionally left it blank, knowing it would hurt my SAT score.

Another passage dropped Jefferson's words creator and God.

There has always been political correctness, in the authors and passages chosen; in the rephrasing of them; and in requiring the parroting of a certain point of view in order to get a good grade.
