(CNN)The University of California system can no longer use ACT and SAT tests as a determinant for admissions, a superior court judge has ruled, handing a victory to students with disabilities.

The "test optional" policy at most UC campuses affords privileged, non-disabled students a "second look" in admissions, said Brad Seligman, the Alameda County Superior Court Judge who issued the preliminary injunction in the case of Kawika Smith v. Regents of the University of California on Tuesday.

At the same time, he said, a "second look" would be denied to less privileged students and students with disabilities who are unable to access the tests. Therefore, the conclusion is to do away with the tests all together.

What used to be protection for America's best and brightest, to insure a prosperous and and logically safe America, has become a member of the racial exclusion club.  How can the system be expected to take in and produce the best when there are no standards except for what bleeding hearts shed tears for?

Am sure companies will be showing up in droves to recruit these kids.

Watch overall enrollment go down as sane parents avoid these schools as they decide where to send little Johnny and Sally to get a degree.

Next, the UC system will be told that they can no longer use grades as a determinant for handing out degrees.
