Did you see where the city of Baltimore had less than 20 kids pass the SAT score in order to get into college? Can you imagine how much money they have saved? LOL

Now the unwed girls can have more babies and bring the birth rate back up. Or they can have IVF done at cost to law abiding citizens.

This is a load of crap, and your racist comment about teens is disgusting and just plain wrong.

Just doing some cursory research it seems that the average, cumulative SAT score is around 1500. This link to county scores does show that Baltimore City seems to have some issues but since there are no "passing or failing" grades for SAT, and many colleges take a number factors into consideration, and the fact that the statement that only "20 students passed the average level" seems incredibly unlikely I would question whether that might actually be true.

When does talking about teens, all teens, teens in general become racist?

The 100 fold increase in racism in this country is caused by idiots like you.

Agree that the original comment is not racist (also tend to agree that we are throwing that word around a bit too loosely), but the author of the "unwed girls" comment is a nutjob.

There is no such a thing as pass/fail on the SAT test. There are average SAT scores and Benchmark scores. Benchmark scores are those scores that indicate a students probability of finding success in their 1st year of college with a GPA of B- or better in a 4 year college. The SAT score is only one of several measures of potential success in college. 27% of all students enrollment in college have scores below the Benchmark on the SAT. Additionally, most, if not all, colleges and universities have openings for inner city students with low SAT scores. Individual colleges and universities have their own standard for SAT scores, and they vary widely.

The racist inference was there when the poster referred to 'illegals' by referencing "... cost to law abiding citizens." Just my thought,sounded odd to me too. Won't call anybody an idiot over it. Besides,the poster accomplished his objective of throwing crap out to see if somebody stepped in it. He wins again! :)

This is not a racist statement. Why is it that every time someone points out the inferior status of a group, it is labeled racist, when in reality it is just plain truth.

I don't know how accurate this is, however your points are well taken. It is not racist to point out the truth.
