On the Fact that the New York State Board of Regents Recently Decided to Do Away with the Academic Literacy Skills Test for Prospective Teachers Because Too Many Black and Hispanic Candidates Were Flunking it On the First Attempt and Because They Felt that this Was Harming Diversity in the Classroom by Not Giving Minority Students Enough Positive Role-Models - https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/13/nyregion/ny-regents-teacher-exams-alst.html?_r=0
