The dumbing down of America continues apace. They've already made the bar exam easier and easier.
We've had affirmative action since the 1960s, easier and ever easier testing, and till blacks and other minorities keep failing. Thus we keep dumbing the tests down even more while importing millions of minorities both legally and illegally every decade. America will soon be Venezuela or Zimbabwe thanks to the left.
And also thanks to stupid white voters. Something about selling the rope with which they will hang them.
Several states say they could make their bar exams easier to pass as a way to address racial diversity problems and access-to-justice issues entrenched in the legal profession.
Their statements coincide with the first data from California, which permanently lowered its “cut score” last summer just incrementally—but saw significant changes in the racial make-up of those passing the test to become its newest lawyers.
Last week, Rhode Island became the first to follow suit in lowering the state’s cut score. Several others say they’ll soon be weighing similar reforms. ... Court officials from Texas, Arizona, and Michigan said they’re also monitoring efforts from a national testing group to modify the bar exam, with an eye toward eventual changes in their own states. ...
Several other states—including New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, North Carolina, and Utah—said they could consider lowering cut scores based on their own reviews and after studying how the moves play out elsewhere. Their answers came in response to questions from Bloomberg Law to bar exam authorities and top courts in the 50 states and Washington, D.C.
