Things I found surprising

The Larry P ruling is withstanding today; State of CA cannot give black students IQ testing in order to place in EMR classes.

Segregated schooling continued 40+yrs after IQ test were found to be racially and culturally bias against Mexican America students

Darrel Lester has no idea that his case helped change the IQ testing for black kids in California

The idea that "Dangerous Ideas" can exist and lead to dangerous actions. i.e. the Holocaust

All of the above
