Now here’s someone with a cause: high school junior Allie Kauffmann, who’s railing against the unfairness of the SAT.
In this little video — made with her film-professor father and commentary by a FairTest official, Kauffman explains how the test (as well as the ACT) is biased in the areas of gender, race, economic background and first language.
She’s has a petition going at ACToutagainstSAT.com to bring the issue to the attention of Joyce E. Smith, President of the National Association of College Admission Counseling.
