I didn’t even know they were removed in the first place. If the only argument is because is wealthier students were gaining advantage over lower income then I understand why the democrats lost.

Tests are usually pretty sucky because it usually means kids are taught only to pass the tests which invalidates the point, I feel like maybe a coursework or portfolio type approach is better?

Like I can tell you low income shouldn’t have anything to do with what’s going on in K-12 grade school. Unfortunately the harsher reality between the students who are genuinely just not interested and the teachers who are under funded along with the curriculum itself being garbage. Yeah it’s no wonder theres too much folks coming out of high school with zero math skills.
It's a known fact that when kids come into higher education, they always have to be taught how to learn properly because they've only known test drills until then. I don't know what these universities did but maybe they went retard and let in anyone regardless of test score but without any kind of filtering either so they had a bunch of uninterested dimwits instead of clever people.
> I didn’t even know they were removed in the first place.
It was removed because they were trying to make their students more diverse, and the people they wanted to bring in can barely read.
Democrats (90% of academia) do not believe in standardized tests or in any objective metrics because their entire epistemological framework is relativist.
They don't believe in truth, they believe everything is an opinion (until politics come into play, of course).

The portfolio approach is a way to hide the fact that you have idiots getting into the schools.
You get an illiterate kid, take some fucked up art and sob story essays and use that instead. You can't even say "that art is shit" because they will use the old "it's in the eye of the beholder".
The agenda here is to make it so that it's impossible to acknowledge that some people are dumb. This is done by eliminating any form of objective criteria.

If they weren't learning, they'd fail those tests.
If the tests are just asking for trivia like dates and random irrelevant facts then the problem is with that test, not testing itself.
A test can cover every central concept, and ensure that people actually know the definitions for the concepts and when they are applied.
Leftist authorities in academia are not trying to replace trivia with conceptual information, they are trying to eliminate concrete metrics so that they can admit anyone and give a diploma to even the most cognitively imparied students.
It's not actually about being nice because affirming people constantly doesn't actually help them, it just makes them feel good in the moment. These students waste years of their lives, take on a loan half the size of a mortgage, and enter a job market without any real skills.
