@Steve_Sailer@JustinWolfers The cutoffs were the same both before and after the shift to universal screening. Does not explain the increase -
@dynarski@Steve_Sailer@JustinWolfers True, but it does explain the original disparity. Everybody assuming original disparity due to bias. -
@3rdMoment Does not explain original disparity. Schools knew correct cutoffs & were to apply in referrals. Did so in racially disparate way. -
@dynarski@3rdMoment Where is the evidence for racially disparate application of the old standards, rather than for disparate impact?
