Racism Alert - Photo IDs Required for SAT Testing
Wait, doesn't this discriminate against illegal aliens which in turn hurts Democrats and President Obama in the elections? Where's the Congressional Black Caucus? In January, here's what they had to say about voter ID:
The Congressional Black Caucus on Monday night took to the House floor to charge that voter ID laws popping up around the country are aimed at dissuading minority voters from voting, and making it harder for President Obama to win re-election.Wouldn't IDs for SAT testing then dissuade minority students? Oh those racist educators.
Mental Recession reader Brian states that, "Ironically, students are one of the groups mentioned when it comes to not having the ID required to vote."
But progressives clearly aren't actually concerned about identification being used as a racist tool, they're only concerned about using the perception of racism as a tool.
Brian adds:
I am not sure if the irony hammer hits harder than it does when people yell out loud about photo ID for voting, and whisper about it for taking the SATs…Anyway, via CBS News:
Students taking college entrance exams this fall will have to submit photo IDs with their applications — a key security upgrade following a widespread cheating scandal at a number of high schools on New York's Long Island, a prosecutor and testing officials announced Tuesday... ... The new testing requirements include making students upload a photograph of themselves when they register for the SAT or ACT. Those unable to upload a photo will be permitted to mail in a photo, which will be scanned by the testing agency.
Then, an admission ticket into the testing site, containing the scanned photo, will be mailed to the student. The photo will not only be printed on the admission ticket, but on the test site roster, and can be checked against the photo ID a student provides at the test center. That photo will be attached to students' scores as they are reported to high schools and colleges. Other changes include checking student IDs more frequently at test centers; IDs will be checked when students enter a test site, and whenever they re-enter the test room after breaks, and again when the answer sheets are collected.
