Before 1996 the SAT was set us an an IQ equivalent.
In 1996 they changed the SAT because it was "too hard" for the dumb ass brain dead data-replicators that so many public schools are focused on creating.
and then the Republican party platform in the state of Texas states explicitly that they are against the teaching of "critical thinking."
The Republican party in texas is composed mainly of super rich highly educated white guys. They have nothing to gain and everything to lose by educating the "lower classes."
