* After this chapter was written, while in the last stages of preparing my book for the press in early 2009, I happened to meet Ms. Kramer, author of the aforementioned Ed School Follies, at a lunch in New York City. I complimented her on her book, and asked whether things had improved any in the eighteen years since she wrote it. She: “Improved? They’re far worse!” employers could just give aptitude tests to job applicants. Unfortunately most aptitude testing has been banned since 1971, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the case of Griggs v. Duke Power Co. Duke had been using IQ tests to assign employees to positions, but this was found to have a disparate impact on minorities.
