My point was that this concept is racist, as the article that gardenlady shared showed. When something is done away with partially because of how it affects minorities or decisions made because a white workforce doesn't match the student body, it seems that the only factor taken into consideration is skin tone, which is racism.

That's the point I'm trying to make -- that the articles you are sourcing didn't represent why the tests were being done away with. The tests are being done away with because they are tests that don't measure the ability of teachers to ultimately teach. Once I went past the links you provided, digging deeper to the more primary sources, the tone of the story became quite different. Biased tests do exist. Poorly constructed tests do exist. Tests that fail to measure what they are trying to measure do exist. This test, from the other sources of information, falls into all those categories. So the basis of the claim of racism isn't really supported by the primary sources.
Oh, I see.
