SATs now giving bonus points for being poor.
Why did I bust my ass for my kids the last 25 years exactly?

I am not sure how this is going to work. I understand how someone who does not speak English may not be able to compete, but college classes are taught in English. There are alternatives, like community college, that will allow someone who's not a native English speaker, to progress in their field, while learning English, but that does not require SAT. When they're done with community college, they can apply to a 4-year school, and be successful.
I think this is a dumb move, that addresses a non-existing problem.

@Northwest I think it's about equality of outcomes over merit. At some point, one has to ask what is the point of an SAT test if you aren't really going to use the score. It used to be an objective criteria, flawed to some extent, but not as flawed as they would have you believe.
