Affirmative action in disguise

A new test that emphasizes personal creativity will be used instead to ensure a "more diverse" student body. This is freakin hilarious. The SAT was criticized for (imagined) biases. Just think how THIS new test consisting of personal stories, etc. will be free any bias. Right.

How academics can rationalize producing graduates who can neither read, write or do elementary computations (never mind total ignorance of science in this technological world) is a tribute to political doublespeak and the irrationality of the predominant political beliefs. Educational costs and academic rewards (college level much more so than public schools) are the highest ever while the results are the worst ever. Go figure.
