Mūsdienās, ja kāds neiztur pārbaudījumu, par vainīgo uzskata pārbaudījumu, ne lūzeri. Un izgāšanās ir lūzera cilvēktiesību pārkāpums.

NYT ziņo no Floridas:

MIAMI, May 12 — A small group of minority politicians and prominent religious leaders in Florida is threatening a boycott of some of the state's largest industries in the hope of forcing the suspension of an achievement test that thousands of high school seniors recently failed.

Opponents of the exam are asking Gov. Jeb Bush and the Florida Department of Education to consider a moratorium on the exam to assess the need for it and determine how to raise test scores.

The F.C.A.T. carries too much weight," said Victor Curry, bishop of New Birth Baptist Church in Miami and a prominent black religious leader in South Florida. "It's too much pressure for a test to determine whether or not you can march with your classmates. The assessment test should be factored in with everything else the child does in school."

Mr. Curry and other critics say that black and Hispanic students fail the test in disproportionate numbers.
