Fact of the Week
Did you know?
We often hear about how standardized tests are biased against minorities. Studies have shown that when Black students are asked to indicate their race on standardized tests their test scores decrease (https://www.nextgenlearning.org/articles/racial-bias-standardized-testing) It seems to be a reminder to them that they are Black and thus cannot perform well on the test.
How much more discouraged are they going to be when they are told that they are oppressed and cannot succeed in American society? The ideology behind Critical Race Theory is going to serve to further decrease their test scores - not help them improve.
