But the WSJ is funky. On my phone it lets me access it. On my computer I tried and it said I need to sign up.
You can easily google this story to find out its true lol.

It's not a rationalization, it's the truth. Nobody here coined the phrase "cheer leading". Nor triggered. I don't see you asking them where they picked it up from, but then you'd need to actually be consistent for that.
Going by this logic of yours, every time you do your funny deflection act, is that your way of conceding?
Nah, you should love this: I'm adopting the standards of liberals. Thus it's different when I do it, as opposed to when *you* do it, you understand?

The amount of time it took you to respond with excuses, you could have copy/pasted and posted the link multiple times.

Here's another link from Fox news:

I'm quite curious if you will find a way to make excuses even for this lol. That is the challenge, can even Robtard rationalize this?

Is there some weird reason why you can print links to other sites, but not the one you specifically decided to name-drop as some sort of validation? Weird.
Anyhow, read most of the article and I'm torn, while I do think teachers should have literacy test, the concern (if true) that the test is "confusing, redundant and a poor predictor of who will succeed as a teacher" is also valid. So why not redo the test so it's none of those things claimed, but still sets a sensible (high?) bar that teachers need to meet. As having morons teaching isn't the way to improve literacy in the US.

Do you not read? I said the WSJ wouldn't let me view it without subscribing, but for some reason on my phone it did. It's pointless to link to something that might not be able to be viewed by people.
Tests can be changed if they do not measure up, the problem is with these people getting rid of the test all together. The other problem is the reason: not that the test is bad, but they blame diversity. Minorities are too stupid to pass the test, whites aren't.
You selectively quoted it, what about this quote:
Ian Rosenblum, the executive director of the New York office of the Education Trust, a nonprofit that advocates for high achievement for all students, called the literacy test "a 12th grade-level assessment" -- something a high school senior should be able to pass.
Or this part:
Several education professors told The Associated Press the test doesn't measure anything that isn't covered in other exams students must take, including subject matter certification tests, the SAT, the GRE and tests that are part of their coursework.

I did read it and as noted before, seems like another excuse.
You started out okay and as you see, we have similar feelings that the test shouldn't be scrapped all together. But then you ended it by going full on racist.

So would you agree that SJW bullshit is the cause of this? That is what is leading them to get rid of any test, correct? Since if it was about the quality of a specific test they would merely be asking for a better one as opposed to just getting rid of it.
Stupidity of the few is the cause. Yeah, I already said the test should be redone to appease all/make it equal and if anything, set a higher standard for teachers' literacy . But you didn't see me getting worked up and turning into a Grand Wizard of the KKK about 'minorities being stupid'. IMO, you need to calm the F down.

I said that after talking about the reasoning. Diversity. The implication being that minorities aren't as smart as whites and thus can't compete unless we get rid of the test. I even say: "The other problem is the reason: not that the test is bad, but they blame diversity. Minorities are too stupid to pass the test, whites aren't."
They will of course try to blame it on racism and poverty, which is what they blame every problem on. Now I've explained to you what I meant. We'll see where your priorities are depending on if you accept this and move on or if you try to stir the discussion into racism.
Anyways, so the days of saying SJW bullshit is harmless are over, yes? Since this affects an entire state and as you just said: it took only a few SJW's to do this.
