Re: Justice Prevails Over Racism
The scary part is that this was a 5-4 decision. That boggles the mind. I'm also concerned with reading that Title VII, which caused this issue of discrimination against the minorities from the test results, basically says that if too few minorities, or too many white people if you want to look at it that way, score good/bad (in other words, if white people do really well, and minorities do really bad), then it means the test was discriminatory. Say what?  That is baffling to me. How can a test be so generically deemed discriminatory from it's results? Shouldn't it be the specific content that would determine that? Maybe I'm missing something, which is certainly possible.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897
