Trump or no Trump, the US is becoming more and more of a shit hole

From the article
Why drop the bar? To make it easier — especially for minorities — to become teachers. In 2013-14, just 48 percent of blacks and 56 percent of Hispanics passed the literacy test, versus 75 percent of whites. To fix the problem, the geniuses at the board would simply scrap the test.
But that means potentially unqualified teachers may be let loose upon New York’s kids — including minority kids. And what’s especially scary is that once teachers are certified and have tenure, it’s virtually impossible to fire them.
“We’ve now abandoned or watered down the teacher evaluation process, and now we’re lowering the bar for entry certification as well,” says Manhattan Institute education-policy expert Charles Sahm.

Sample Questions
Looks more like a SAT/GRE verbal test, not a test of basic literacy. Still seems like a bad idea to lower the standards though.

Ironic coming from The Post, which is written for a 3rd grade reading level.

These are really tests for 'who can read about Gertrude Stein without falling asleep'. It's almost as if they're deliberately boring or irrelevant.

Damn all standards. Must have diversity! Fuck liberalism and its religion. Trump needs to call for a meritocracy amendment to the constitution.

Hey now, those deliberately boring and irrelevant passages are what got me ahead of all the asians on the GRE.

Hey guys, check your White Privilege. Expecting people to read is racist.
