THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SAYS
WILLIAM BARR MAY NOT TESTIFY
TOMORROW IF IT INSISTS ON
HAVING HIS LAWYERS QUESTIONED
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
THE CONTROVERSY OVER THE
ADMISSIONS EXAM FOR SPECIALIZED
HIGH SCHOOLS IS BEING DEBATED.
CRITICS SAY THE TESTING
CONTRIBUTES TO SEGREGATED
SCHOOLS.
THE HIGH SCHOOLS USE THE EXAMS
TO DETERMINE ADMISSIONS.
THE COUNCIL SPEAKER AND THE
SCHOOLS CHANCELLOR SAY THE TEST
MUST BE ELIMINATED.
THERE IS BROAD SCIENTIFIC
CONSENSUS AMONG TESTING
EXPERTS, PSYCHOLOGISTS AND
EDUCATORS THAT HIGH-STAKES
DECISIONS THAT AFFECT STUDENT
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
SHOULD NOT BE MADE ON THE BASIS
OF TEST SCORES ALONE.
THE SINGLE ADMISSIONS
TESTING IS UNFAIR AND THE
STATUS QUO IS UNACCEPTABLE.
IF WE ARE TO ADVANCE EQUITY NOW
