Standardized testing originated in the eugenics movement

13. We don't need an alternative

Standardized tests, especially those which are used for college admittance, are skewed to specific genders and races, and can be "gamed" by being able to afford classes on how to take the test.

Last I read, almost 1,000 four-year colleges and universities in the US do not require SAT or ACT scores as part of the admittance process for a Bachelor's degree. Most of these are respected and accredited institutions.

Not every school uses these, and many schools (including the CA State system) don;t want to use them, but testing is a business as entrenched as insurance, and with lobbyists as savvy and rabid to protect their money-making machine. Even if it's on the backs of students who deserve to be in college.

You get extra points for throwing in the Margaret Sanger boogeyman.
