Sonny Perdue has come up with a plan to tie students" SAT scores with the HOPE Scholarship. Reason being from him, and as quoted from WSBTV in Atlanta, "It would keep good students who perform badly on standardized tests -- including many blacks -- from getting state financial support." .
Now referring back to him "ensuring that the voice of the people is heard in the walls of power," I am brought to question why he is changing the rules. Is it because the statistics show that test scores of African American students have historically been far below the state average and well below the average scores of white students? Or is it because he's a Republican and care less whether or not we get what we deserve, maybe it's because he's not too fond of African Americans? Now take it from me, racism is something that should not interfere with our social lives. Yes, I am aware that it still exists, but the older generation needs to get it out of their system. .
"[ ] Working to empower Georgians to improve their lives through innovation and productivity.(Perdue)" So Perdue says. Education is a step closer to improvement and productivity, right? So why is he willing to alter the qualifications of the HOPE Scholarship just so the majority can excel as they have been in the past? Such a rhetorical question, if I might add myself. .
