High School Exit Exams
If extrapolated to employment tests, bar exams, medical school entrance exams, olympic trials, etc., I have to wonder if those culling processes would be denigrated to the point of accepting the unqualified. I guess we'll have to wait and see how this gets resolved. It's clearly a national issue...
A lawsuit filed against high schools' exit exam is discussed in the Washington Post:
"On Wednesday, 20 high school seniors and their parents sued the state Department of Education and school Superintendent Jack O'Connell, claiming the exam is illegal and discriminatory. They worry the test may prevent the students from graduating."
