The College Board,  a U.S. non-profit organization that develops SAT and ACT test material administered to millions of students each year, has ties to the Chinese Communist Party-funded Confucius Institutes.

Confucius Institutes have come under scrutiny by U.S. intelligence agencies and federal lawmakers alike for their role in spreading Chinese propaganda on American college campuses. More than 70 Confucius Institutes currently operate in the U.S., as Campus Reform has documented. Taxpayer-funded American college campuses have faced increased pressure in recent months to close their Confucius Institutes amid mounting evidence that China withheld critical information from the world as the coronavirus took root and spread like wildfire throughout the world, eventually reaching America's shores and killing tens of thousands of Americans since.

Now, as the National Pulse pointed out, the College Board openly touts on its websites its own ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

The College Board promotes the Chinese Language and Culture Initiatives. Among them are the Chinese Guest Teacher Program, which is described as a way to "help U.S. schools develop Chinese language and culture study programs and to promote international exchange between the United States and China."   ...

I thought the enlightened at our colleges and universities were all for eliminating the SAT requirement, so big deal.

They probably don't realize China's role in it. Once they hear about it, they may change their tune about the need for admissions testing, like the good commies they are.
