OUTSTANDING ARTICLE!!

<There is such a movement to deny the predictive validity of these tests that researchers at eminently-respected institutions now appear to be contriving elaborate statistical justifications for denying that validity.>

<Getting rid of the SATs won’t make unprepared kids prepared. It won’t make naturally untalented students naturally talented. It won’t make kids who aren’t smart into smart kids. All it will do is hide the reality of those unpleasant inequalities.>

Suppressing reality is always a dead end or black hole.... a dangerous lie by any other name.

I repeat, whether its an individual or a "group", lying is often the last refuge of the mentally ill.
