I Taught My 4th Grade Class About White Privilege And Their Response Was Eye-Opening

26. that's actually the Louisiana citizenship test ... here's the literacy test

which was designed to make it possible for scorers to find reason to fail any voter that they considered undesirable: https://sharetngov.tnsosfiles.com/tsla/exhibits/aale/pdfs/Voter%20Test%20LA.pdf

Here's #27: "Write right from the left to the right as you see it spelled here."

The lack of quotation marks around whatever word or words one is supposed to spell makes this question ambiguous. One could argue that the word/phrase one is expected to write is "right" or "right from the left to the right" or "it." So even if a person of color were to answer every single question correctly in the ten minutes allotted, the registrar could simply claim that whichever of those three they chose for #27 was wrong, and thus fail them on the test.
