AP Test Preview Reveals: ETS employees are indeed Nazis
Last Saturday, Educational Testing Services (ETS), makers of the Advanced Placement tests, released a series of sample questions from its upcoming 2004 exams, due to be administered over the next two weeks. Teachers who reviewed the questions said that they confirmed what many students and teachers had already suspected: ETS employees are militiant members of the Nazi party. "It wasn't even subliminal," said one WHS history teacher. "Many of the questions blantantly implied the moral superiority of the Ayran race." Questions of especially questionable nature included this AP United States History Essay: "'The White Race must be purified.' Defend or refute this statement." AP US multiple choice questions also had a decidedly fasicist bent: "Which group was MOST responsible for the Great Depression? a) The Jews b) Homosexuals c) Catholics"
The Nazi philosophy appeared to have penetrated even into seemingly objective areas, like the AP Calculus Exam; the sample free-response problem asked students to calculate the volume of a swastika rotated around the y-axis. Said one math teacher, "It's shocking, really. I've been joking that ETS is a bunch of nazis for years, but never did I expect them to actually infuse right-wing propaganda into their questions!"
