After a week in which a few stories sided with young men abused by their female teachers, the NY Times is back to their sexist war against boys.
This week a columnist joined the trendy faddy crowd to question testing as a means to get into college, or get into anything apparently. Testing is objective, no teacher subjective bias. Tests are carefully construed to be gender neutral. Because males and females are equally intelligent, even the third wave feminists admit. And tests can be analyzed and improved.
Tests are not perfect. There's a question here or there that doesn't make sense. Although the single only question the NY Times guy got wrong and was upset about: I got it right. And tests are too often run by big for-profit companies like Pearson, out to make a buck with little sense of morality or mission.
The alternative for entrance to college is just grades, so advocated the NY Times writer. And grades are universally biased against boys. Every school system and college in the country gives boys worse grades than girls, keeping out 2.4 million smart boys from college every year. So yeah, the NY Times is back to their sexist war against boys. Photo: water grasses
