>At a time when the United States has plummeted in the global rankings of education standards, one of the country’s largest states is poised to scrap a test designed to measure the reading and writing skills of people trying to become teachers.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
READING AND WRITING BE RACIST!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH!!!

What happened to you guys?
Liam Hill
>Kate Walsh, the president of the National Council on Teacher Quality, said that the reason that blacks and Latinos don't score as well as whites on the literacy test is because of various factors like poverty and the legacy of racism. Walsh said that is the symptom on other standardized tests as well.
>"There's not a test in the country that doesn't have disproportionate performance on the part of blacks and Latinos," Walsh said.
HAHAHAHAHA
spics and niggers BTFO!
>can't read and write cus of poverty and racism
holy shit!!!! you cant make this shit up. have them read a bio of dirt poor Lincoln or dirt poor nigger Booker T Washington
oh wait these niggers cant read! HAHAHAHA

equality. the equality movements of the 50s and 60s. thats what.
brown v board thats what.
lowering of standards and not accepting responsibility for being fucking illiterate.
there is no excuse for being illiterate in the usa. NONE!
Isaac Foster
London has just done something similar. To be a Taxi driver you had to pass a reading and writing test which is to be dropped due to discrimination (and also that no one can read or write English in London).
This and public education generally. It's overcrowded, teachers unions leech extra money out of the budget so they can't hire enough teachers or expand. Teachers finally being replaced by their own retarded students and this happens.
Aaron Gomez
I know a few very old teachers and they lament that each passing year they are forced to lower the standard of teaching. That compared to 10 years ago they barely teach half of what they teach now.
Ayden Bennett
Facts are racist!
Josiah Williams
Even if that premise was true(it's not), this is retarded because you're making inept individuals into teachers which will only guarantee more inept minority students
Kayden Hernandez
I like how libs point to the movie Idiocracy all the time but they ironically can't see they are the problem.
Jonathan Barnes
That's also them desperately trying to cheat the standardized testing to cover up what amounts to embezzling. The very old teachers though get seniority and are ironically the ones leeching the most money in many cases.
Luis Anderson
it's the circle
the circle of illiteracy!
poverty aint no excuse for shit
booker t washington was born a fucking slave. was dirt poort. was a nigger. and he made it to the top. he didn't let his circumstances dictate his future.
that should be every dirt poor niggers goal. to not let his circumstances dictate his future yet we have professional civil rights apologists excusing their criminality and illiteracy because of poverty and racism.
baka senpai

Isaiah Fisher
We actually have private schools which aren't retarded. Socialism just doesn't work in the USA.
Austin Roberts
Also, more importantly, it ''''discriminates'''' against minorities.
Connor Harris
It's the USSA, comrade. Being factually correct is not as important as being politically correct. This is actually how the term "politically correct" came to exist. Advance the agenda, don't worry about what's true. The government will tell you what truth is.
Wyatt Garcia
white people don't want to teach the inner city apes they're getting rid of the test because they wouldn't have any teachers at all and are dressing it up in PC bullshit as window dressing
academic literacy tests aren't racist they know it you know it we all know it this is just another case of negro incompetency being masked as a matter of necessity
Camden Harris
The only offensive thing to me is you have to pay for the test.
Jose Scott
Trump needs to clean house
Owen Garcia
This is nothing new. An American professor was fired for correcting a nigger's spelling.
>"There's not a test in the country that doesn't have disproportionate performance on the part of blacks and Latinos," Walsh said. So why not ban all tests, then?
Also, this: Continue the cycle of shit into more shit. It's telling that this is how bad it's gotten already when it's poised to go exponential.
Nathan Edwards
>leaching money
Yup
Kayden Sanchez
>literally allowing illiterates to teach our children in an effort to be more tolerant
we gotta start quarantining blue states
Eli Lewis
Well they are racist in the sense that races are different and these tests point that out. I'm sure asian score the highest, then whites, then hispanics, then blacks.
Just reaffirming what we already know, and then they make up excuses for it like that even matters.
Kayden Rodriguez
I'll just point out last time I checked NY State was ranked 47/50 in terms of best education systems within the States. While being one of the states that pays the most into education. I'm convinced at this point with this legislation that we are aiming to spend the most money and be at the very worst state to live in for schooling.
Connor Reed
>>"There's not a test in the country that doesn't have disproportionate performance on the part of blacks and Latinos," Walsh said.
Literally confirming the intelligence difference amongst races.
Gabriel Green
Jews happened. They and their cultural marxist minions are rotting the country from the inside like a cancer.

Just end my life. I'm so sick of shit like this daily.
Andrew Cox
If whites were smart, they would challenge pilot exams as racist to show how dangerous this is.
Brandon Fisher
Now the next gen can say together that "We wuz kaangzz and shiieeet"
Isaiah Martinez
>Niggers and spics are failing the test more than whites. >Should we look into why niggers and spics have sub-standard literacy skills? >Nah let's just eliminate the test. Progressivism really is the absolute fucking death of all standards.
Nathaniel White
Burn it. Burn it all to the ground. Salt the earth.
Chase Reed
the NBA should eliminate athletic requirements. the lack of whites is problematic

They're basically just prisons for children.

Truly, non-Asians are the niggers of the human race.
Levi Jackson
>can't read and write cus of poverty and racism Why is it that the inverse corollary - that poverty and racism in minority communities is generated by continued illiteracy - never examined. I wonder
Brody Watson
I wonder.
Charles Walker
idk about you famalam, but I think my safety's guaranteed with him.

CNn Breaking News: Niggers and Spics (they have to go back) are Stupid as Fuck! This is Common knowledge.

DELETE THIS. DELETE THIS RIGHT FUCKING NOW
Sebastian Edwards
What happened in 1995?
Anthony Wood
You have to pay for every test, you're just used to not paying yourself because of gibs. Freeloader.
Camden Wilson
lel, does it really surprise you? I love hearing stories like this because it only confirms my beliefs about the decline of the US and its causes. Arguably, countries like Sweden have it worse, like when they tried to develop a new dialect based on migrant mispronunciations and slag, and actually recommended it to be used as a "neutral" form of Swedish.
Jackson Thompson
I looked it up and found that it was "recentered," adding about 50 points to scores.
Colton Edwards
>can't read or write >still become a teacher IS THIS AMERICAN FREEDOM?
Angel Butler
When will these idiots learn that lowering the bar does NOT fucking work? Set the students that can't pass aside, dedicate tutors so they can get up to everyone else's level, and if they can't, then just fucking admit it that they are dumber! Stop dumbing everyone down to a 75IQ level and then wondering what the fuck went wrong!...
Robert Sanchez
It has the most private schools you tard
Nathan Baker
The scale was adjusted because too many people were failing it. Remember though, people aren't getting dumber.
Joseph Parker
>Hispanics score better on an ENGLISH literacy test than blacks.
Wow, get your shit together
Logan Gomez
No it doesent surprise me. We've become so pollictally correct as to not hurt anyone feelings recently and in this day and age, anything litterally ANYTHING that offends the nigger population or the Latinos gets removed immediately. Fucking hate it and want this fucking country to burn. Thank fuck trump got elected or we would be seeing more.
Cameron Mitchell
This only proves that Blacks and Hispanics cannot compete intellectually with Whites and Asians.
Eli Hernandez
I do get a little mad when I see that this is being reported in the Post and Time and they'll probably do nothing whatsoever about it and people won't demand change of some sort, but there's not much I can do. Also, it's Jew York City: fuck them, they've asked for this.
