And a full 12% of surveyed people in the article you cite think that testing should play no role in college admissions. It 12% is below the bar for "extreme" then a tremendous number of beliefs that are common among the tech crowd should be labeled as "extreme".
I think you are using a rhetorical trick to retreat. I'm not coming for your children.
I know very little about HR departments and bias training. I do know a lot of academics who study race in fields like history and sociology and I do know that people scream at some of them and call them anti-white even though their scholarship is very rigorous. So I would expect there to be a range of quality among bias training and that both high and low quality bias training causes certain groups of people to lash out. But I also have basically no information here.
Separating the two helps the audience determine if you’re speaking in good faith, or if you’re trying to rationalize and cover up an injustice.
Screeds generally indicate the latter.
Super majorities of people believe race should play no factor at all in college admissions. And grades and standardized test scores are the two things people list first as criteria that should govern admissions decisions. I do not believe that folks who would advocate abandoning standardized testing entirely based on the premise that they're irredeemably flawed are not expressing a widely-held opinion.
