Cal State prof warns scrapping SAT in name of ‘inclusivity’ is leaving students unprepared

To answer your first question, the “man on the street” bit goes back to the pre-tv radio days. I know that that from old Kermit Schafer bloopers records. They’re a hoot. They called bloopers “boners” back in the day. 

Try whipping that out when one of your buddies says something stupid at the next social function. “Nice boner Gary.”

Bloopers are a far cry from we are talking about.

Bloopers are unintentional slip ups.

Ain’t no slip ups coming from the people in question , just plain stupidity.

And how do you suppose “the man one the street” came about? What could have possibly gave rise to it? Perhaps someone had a hunch that Americans are dumb asses, particularly the younger version.

National assessments show a significant, long-term trend of low proficiency in U.S. history among high schoolers, with only about 13% to 22% of students demonstrating solid academic performance

Surveys indicate many students struggle with basic facts, such as identifying the era of the Civil War or key figures like

A significant portion of young adults lack basic civics knowledge, with studies showing only 4% can correctly answer standard questions, and 35% feel too uninformed to participate politically. Key gaps include not knowing the three branches of government, the purpose of the Constitution, or the rights protected by the First Amendment. 
 

Studies show many young adults, particularly in the U.S., possess limited basic geography knowledge, with only 48% of eighth graders showing proficiency, and 18-to-24-year-olds ranking near the bottom in international surveys.

Did I get to you again Woody?

Again Nickers, you are clearly the dumbest, least accomplished individual on this board. You're the village idiot calling others stupid. It's a bad look. 

What’s a really bad look for you is that every time I’ve got you trapped like a cornered rat you whimp out with some kind of excuse.

”Gorka is trying to get to me ….waaaaa”. LOL

Says the guy who’s on this board all hours of the day.

Quite an accomplishment there Woody.

At least Nick worked for a living.

If you take those "man on the street" videos and extrapolate them across an entire generation you're dumber than anyone in those videos. You realize they're just keeping the dumbest responses, right?

More importantly, you realize these exact style of videos exist talking to old folks at MAGA events, right? More of them, honestly. 

Again, in youth it's not surprising Axe or any of you would fall into the man o sphere grift. As elderly adults though it's pretty sad.

You are such a fucking dumb child... You believe every little piece of shit the MSM feeds you... Your stupidity is hilarious... Just keeping twisting your own false narratives.. It's comical.. You move goal post's more than field manager...

You’re delusional.

“Brought on to these podcasts” lol, perhaps in this case to put on display the stupidity of today’s young people. Stupidity awareness.

But have you not seen the perhaps dozens of these videos of people in your age group, both men and women,  being randomly asked on the streets and college campuses basic civics questions….by not so old people?

It's funny, because if you were all Gen Z you'd probably be the exact type of sad, impressionable boys falling for this man o sphere "I can't get laid" trash content. 

Those women are morons, and they're brought on "podcasts" like that for a reason. 

The fact this also has an audience for elderly men is disturbing and concerning.

that is democrats. those women are birdbrains.............................

She wants the SAT to act as a standardized metric, but that skews in the favor of certain groups. 

Ensuring all high schools are aligned in what they're teaching seems like a better correction
