Prospective teachers in New York will likely no longer have to pass a basic reading and writing literacy exam, the Associated Press is reporting. The state’s Board of Regents is expected to ditch the Academic Literacy Skills Test in part because black and Hispanic teaching candidates struggled to pass the exam, according to the AP.

Just 41 percent of black teaching candidates and 46 percent of Hispanics passed the test on their first try, compared to 64 percent of white candidates.

“We want high standards, without a doubt. Not every given test is going to get us there,” Pace University professor Leslie Soodak told the AP. Soodak was a member of the task force that advocated abandoning literacy tests for teachers. “Having a white workforce really doesn’t match our student body anymore,” Soodak added.

And, here you have it folks. We've officially shite the bed as a society. It's more important to be "diverse" than to actually know the fricking curriculum we're being paid to teach our kids.

Exhibit A of why you see an entire generation of retards every time you turn on the TV protesting and they don't even know why the hell they're protesting.

We're completely fricked as a country.
