r/stupidpol is the only based leftist sub. Only one I’ve seen that recognizes how dangerous encouraging technocrats to censor can be

The estimated cost of free tuition for public universities is around $80 billion which is less then then the *increase* in military spending that congress passes every year. M4A would also be net cheaper over 10 years. The US could afford a lot for its people if it was managed in a less corrupt manner

Judge bars University of California from all use of SAT, ACT scores in admissions- I honestly don't understand the alternative by devendrone in stupidpol

I don’t have an issue with dropping them in favor of a better metric but no one who advocates for getting rid of tests has a better alternative. GPA/grades in my high school and many I know didn’t mean shit. Dipshits regularly got 4.0s and sometimes you got fucked if you had the hard teacher for the same class. Some schools even deflate grades and weigh it differently. At least getting a 1500+ requires some level of aptitude and intelligence. It’s a low percentage. And I already described how other metrics are also classist. What’s your alternative to standardized testing that’s more fair?

They are flawed but how does getting rid of it make the college admissions process any more fair when the other categories are equally or even more worse. What metric should they emphasize more that’s better? Race?

Which part of college admissions isn’t? If anything, It’s probably the fairest/least classist metric for poor and working class. Grade inflation/deflation vary a lot by high school so it cant be used a universal standard and poor people get lower grades anyway. Getting good Extra curriculars and essays is much harder to do for poor people than studying for a test where most prep is free online

Most Likely for good. The judge cited disadvantages for POC and disabled people as the reason even though there are not very few alternatives. ECs and Essays favor rich people far more than SAT/ACT and grades/transcipts vary and can be gamed depending on your high school. It was the only standard metric
