White Affirmative Action: The Classic Learning Test Gains Traction

Today on AOTA Shorts: In what we can only think of as some new wave, reverse reverse racism nonsense, the Classic Standardized Test is gaining ground nationally as a competitor to the traditional college entrance exams. The test essentially does that the SAT and ACT do, but with longer, mostly whiter reading passages, supposedly rooted in the “classic” works that have shaped “our” (who exactly?) history and culture. Of course, Florida became the first state in the country to accept the test in its state university system, but many red states are following suit. I guess white folks are having a real hard time with their privilege and meritocracy these days.  Manuel and Jeff discuss!Woah, new format!
