Keeping Corporate America White and Privileged

If you thought the SAT was just for keeping the riffraff out of Harvard and for keeping Brown white, then think again. The SAT is becoming a standard measure of high rolling job applications.

As Stephen Colbert said last night, now with Wall Street asking for SAT scores from 30 years prior, you can be assured that one miserable day from 11th grade can determine the course of your entire life.

So the SAT offers another generation an added benefit to reproducing educational inequality, so that now the bogus meritocracy system can be used to screen direct access to high paying jobs.
