News From Washington

The resurgence of SATs in college admissions signifies a shift from their previous criticism to acceptance, driven by claims of predictability for minority students' success. However, debates persist over educational equity. Meanwhile, Hispanic political representation grows, with diverse views shaping the electorate, potentially influencing the 2024 election landscape.

 In light of the increasing hypersensitivity to offense in universities today, exemplified by instances like mispronouncing names or assuming ethnic stereotypes, it becomes crucial to counterbalance this trend by, for instance, addressing the normalization of oppression in certain contexts. The author illustrates this concern with the example of the Spanish textbook ‘Experiencias,’ published by Wiley, which minimizes oppression, thereby hindering empathy and posing threats to democracy and human rights.
