For those who have been following me tweeting like a maniac over this. Still not a satisfactory response from @TheAtlantic. @CaitlinPacific got it wrong and refuses to be better informed. The piece should be retracted.

I’m genuinely surprised to know that @TheAtlantic had an editor fact check the piece since it was so bad. Do some writers at the publication have carte blanch to blow off the fact checking if it harms their narrative?
There was a month long investigation after the Ruth Shalit debacle exposed by @ErikWemple What are they going to do about this? google.com/amp/s/www.wash…
I said that @TheAtlantic owed the UC an apology and that I doubted one would come and I’d eat crow if it did. Don’t think they’ve come close to the threshold yet. insidehighered.com/blogs/just-vis…
If @CaitlinPacific wants to write a defense of the SAT because she believes higher education serves as a sorting mechanism that’s cool, but framing her argument as a defense of minority students when UC just admitted their most diverse class ever is gross.
