Anyone advocating for the SAT as a tool of educational justice cannot ignore the test’s detestable past. The SAT was created by Carl Campbell Brigham … At the time, Brigham was an enthusiastic eugenicist who believed that intelligence was genetic and that different races and ethnicities were biologically more intelligent than others … But while the SAT has tried to break from its eugenic roots, it still serves the same purpose across time and ideology: to sort human populations deeming high-scorers as valued and deserving of opportunity, and by deeming low-scorers as unvalued and undeserving of opportunity. This is as true of the SAT now as it was almost a hundred years go.
