Uncalled for.

This is from the article provided by the OP.

"NEW YORK (AP) — New York education officials are poised to scrap a test designed to measure the reading and writing skills of people trying to become teachers, in part because an outsized percentage of black and Hispanic candidates were failing it."

If they have the same degree as white teachers you tell me why they are failing the test  in far higher  numbers?

I was on the fence as to whether or not I wanted to weigh in on this.

If ldub23 meant to say that minorities are stupid, then it was uncalled for.

But if ldub23 meant to say that affirmative action is evil
because it deliberately chooses to
not weed out the incompetent ones because they're minorities,
(which I think is probably what he meant)
then the comment is valid.

in the 60's, 70's and 80's New York school systems were some of the best in the country. Their SUNNY collage system was top rank! It is a real shame to see what the Libs have done to that state!

The 50K was an arbitrary number rounded off, especially when one considers the hidden costs involved, like the school lunch program, where 95% of Ca students qualify, a subsidy not included in the 9% Fed allotment.
School supplies, transportation, after school activities designed to babysit. There are other hidden costs affiliated with welfare that adds to the bill.

Some figures were published about the Cincinnati Public Schools.
Comparing 1955 with 1985, they had the same number of students.
Comparing 1955 with 1985, they had the same number of teachers.
Comparing 1955 with 1985, they had ten times the number of administrators!

I dont think its a big secret minorities get pushed into colleges due to set asides based on race and this  is the result.
