Darryl Lester was at his mom’s place in Tacoma, Washington, when a letter he’d been waiting for arrived in the mail. 'The letter delivered good news, but he crumpled it up and threw it in the trash. Why? Because he couldn’t read it.
California education code required school districts to use IQ scores when assessing students for special education. Based on the test results, black students statewide — young Darryl included — wound up categorized as “educable mentally retarded” at disproportionate rates: 27% labeled that way in 1968 were black — even though black students made up less than 9% of the student body.
As a group, African Americans across the country scored lower on IQ tests. Questions like, ”Who wrote Romeo and Juliet,” they argued, didn’t assess a student’s innate capacity to learn. U.S. District Judge Robert Peckham agreed, calling the tests “racially and culturally biased” and “discriminatory.” He ordered a permanent ban on IQ testing of black students across California for purposes of special education placement. Today, California is the only state that has such a ban.
But data released in 2016 show that black students nationwide are still being placed disproportionately in special education — particularly in categories like “emotional disturbance,” which are tied to behavior. They were 8.5 times more likely than non-black students to be designated “emotionally disturbed.” That, parents and special education advocates say, is because some teachers expect so little of them. :lol
Darryl, aged 60, knows it will be hard work, but he said: “My dream is to be able to pick up a book and read it by myself.”
I think California should have just changed the scoring methods so that instead of someone with an IQ of 69 or below being considered retarded, they would now need to score 40 or less to be considered retarded. Because if you move the bar low enough, even niggers can be made to appear intelligent.

As a side note, I find it interesting that California is so "blue" (meaning they support democrats, liberals, BLM, and Antifa) even though most educated people there actually seem to hate niggers. Do they support liberal and marxist nonsense because of some weird sense of "white guilt"?
