It’s such a deep disservice to progressivism to spread this anti-intellectual idea. More often than not, many mainstream progressive ideas are firmly rooted in empirical evidence validated over a number of years.

Another Twitter debate breaking out over whether the SAT is racially biased that is excluding the top performing groups. The gap between Asian and white at the top end is bigger than the gap between whites and AA/Latino. https://t.co/vYeOYuSPcw
