40. haha
the test is not the problem -- it's just one symptom of a in a multitude of complex systemic problems, holmes.

here are just a few:

- access to quality education based on proximity to good schools
- proximity to good schools based financial ability to live in safe neighborhoods (since the quality teachers tend to flock to the safe schools, you know the ones that do not require metal detectors and security guards at the doors)
- continued relegation of brown/black people to the bottom-of-the barrel of social assistance
- racist MSM

It's a complex web and these are just a few of the parts. AA is just one feeble regulatory attempt at offsetting some of the affects of this list and there ain't much else.

Seriously, after Katrina are you really asking this question? wtf, holmes?
