Negroes used to be worth 2/3 a white man
Apparently the value of black people is declining:
AP: States Omit Minorities' School Scores: With the federal government's permission, schools aren't counting the test scores of nearly 2 million students when they report progress by racial groups, an Associated Press computer analysis found.There was a time when politicians decided that a black man was to be worth 2/3 of a white man in a census. Apparently this value has decreased and we are now much, much further from the ideal. Truly sad, indeed.
Minorities -- who historically haven't fared as well as whites in testing -- make up the vast majority of students whose scores are being excluded, AP found. And the numbers have been rising.
"I can't believe that my child is going through testing just like the person sitting next to him or her and she's not being counted," said Angela Smith, a single mother. Her daughter, Shunta' Winston, was among two dozen black students whose test scores weren't broken out by race at her suburban Kansas City, Mo., high school (Emphasis added; Yahoo! News).
