http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/02/AR2009010202098.html
  1. Aptitude tests are banned as job qualifications because they are deemed "discriminatory to minorities"

  2. Employers replace them with college education requirements

  3. Income disparity between high school and college graduates widen

  4. College enrollment and tuition skyrocket

  5. College, and thus high-paying jobs, become unreachable for low-income youths
