The Eugenics Movement and Standardized Tests: Sir Francis Galton

What are Standardized Tests? Tests given across a state or country, like ISAT, ACT, or SAT. Usually multiple choice tests. Today, often used for decisions like promotion to next grade closing schools firing teachers going to college Not the same as tests teachers give to see what students learned in class

EUGENICS means sterilizing or eliminating “ inferior ” people

Standardized Tests Were Used to Decide Who Was “ Inferior ”

Racial Differences on SAT Scores: Built into the Test? Average SAT Reading Scores, by Race and Ethnicity, 2012 Group Reading White527 Asian American518 American Indian482 Puerto Rican452 Mexican American448 Other Latino447

Standardized Tests Determined Who to Sterilize From about 1910 to 1960,

By 1965, 34% of Puerto Rican mothers had been sterilized!

Eugenics Kept Most Immigrants Out of the U.S.

Nazis Killed Millions Based on U.S. Eugenics

How Does This Work Today? (Discuss in groups of 3-4) What is the reason for standardized tests, today and in the past? Are standardized tests used mostly for bad or good purposes these days? How do test scores hold people back? Are standardized tests racially biased?
