After Gov. DeSantis’ feud with the College Board, Florida is considering a new alternative to the SAT that’s popular with Christian schools. Here’s what it is and what it means:
, an academic study of racism’s pervasive role in society, which the state banned from public schools.
The College Board said in a statement to NBC News that because standardized tests can be such keystones for students’ career trajectories, “it’s critical that those tests are well researched and carefully developed to ensure fairness,” and it said it has a “team of experts” to evaluate its exams.The ACT, a nonprofit organization, declined to comment.
“They want to say unless you have 500,000 data points then any of your research is completely inaccurate, and that’s a good way to keep competitors out of the market,” he said.and intentionally favor Aristotle, Benjamin Franklin and Jane Austen over 20th century progressive authors, Tate said. Christopher Newport University in Virginia became the first public university to accept the CLT in 2018. It quickly caught on with home-schoolers and private Christian schools and colleges.
The primary difference in the CLT lies in its choices for literature. The exam may include passages from Pope John Paul II or the Christian author C.S. Lewis, which Tate said prompted one public university to explicitly tell him that’s why it won’t use the CLT. Tate said that to “censor the entire Catholic and Christian tradition,” as he accuses the SAT and the ACT of doing, excludes important influences and foundations of Western civilization.
