There is a measure of disagreement on the left with this issue, and it's a fairly serious one.
Some feel that proactive measures are required due to present problems being the result of past injustices.
I understand that view, but don't believe that it's practically doable.
I favor total colorblindness starting now and things will eventually work out.
The thing to understand is that without colorblindness in the law and in practices, PRESENT injustices will continue to take place.

It is trending in that direction; especially with the new NCAA rules allowing players to make money from their endorsements. I even read about a high school student who is highly recruited and already being pursued for his product endorsements. He can't do that while still in high school so is leaving school early to enter college.
of course not.
if minorities chose to not use English to communicate they can expect to have they're ceiling lowered accordingly.

The USA has lost WWIV to China with no other weapons but China Virus and some cash to buy democrats.
The Ibram Kendi “How To Be An Anti-Racist” argument is that any discrepancies between races is due to racism. Thus color blind policies are not a solution. And that’s consistent with saying the SAT and ACT are racist (I think that blames the tests for other factors but…)
Someone posted last week that Canadians are better educated than Americans. Does eliminating exams like this help to increase our nations educational achievement?

I thought they already did that. I remember there was a basketball point shaving scandal at Tulane their star player was involved in. That player was illiterate.
I saw an IQ test that was predicated on black experiences and black culture. The white people failed it and blacks did very well. The tests are not on a fair level. You cannot make a fair test.
So what do you have for us Nordberg? There are people who argue grades are racist due both to teacher biases and that focusing on grades takes away from true academic achievement and growth. The chances or removing grades nationally probably aren't high, so they'll still be with us. But the reality is with grade inflation and each school being somewhat different it's not 100% apples to apples to compare students strictly by grades. So Universities are going to continue to look at some other metrics. What should those metrics be that aren't institutionally racist?
