Court overturn math requirement is racism...
« on: February 01, 2024, 12:14:34 PM »
Back in 2021, a group of teacher sued the Ontario, Canada gov't for a law requiring teacher candidates to pass a math proficiency test. The test question are mostly pulled from 3-6 grades math problems plus some questions relating to how to teach math to students.

A Divisional Court sided with the plaintiff's argument that the requirement is racism because some minorities (black/brown) can't pass these math requirement.

The Appeal's Court just made their final decision - throwing out the 2021 court decision. The Appeal Court overwhelmingly found that although there is a “diversity gap” in Ontario’s teaching profession, the test did not reinforce, perpetuate or exacerbate disadvantages because the test was designed to test knowledge that high school graduates could reasonably be expected to know, and the test had been developed with sensitivity for bias and equity issues in mind.
