Because of CB’s primacy in the high school and admissions spaces they should be the target. But replacing the SAT with the CLT just gives the right a chit in the culture war. Would be nice if the liberal left actually supported inquiry not test based public education.

If kids actually read the stuff on the CLT suggested list that would be a good thing. But that’s not what the test is about. Critique of testing culture comes from both right and lift as does support for it. Putting inquiry at the center of public education we involve dismantling that culture.

Let’s be clear. The CLT is a standardized test that measures the same narrow skill set as the SAT. Except that their reading passages might be from St. Thomas Aquinas or The Federalist Papers. We’re not talking about an infrastructure for deep classroom learning.

who would believe that preparation for college might require specifically not reading whole books

Gotta get ideas out there. Not just in the left echo chamber.

You should put together a small group like Heritage did. Gotta be political like the right. I’d be willing to help.

Maybe there should be a counter manifesto of a “liberal” education grounded in pursuit of “truth, beauty, and the good” (Apologies to Howard Gardner).
