支持取消标准化考试的人称，考试会偏袒特权阶级。Compaingers  claim that exams favour the privileged.然而，并没有充分证据能支撑这个观点。Evidence foethis is thin。比如说数学题涉及的都是数字和代数这样的中性话题；而阅读理解题也很少围绕珠宝或游艇类话题。Maths problems involve neutral things like numbers and algebra；reading-comprehension tests are rarely about silverware  or yachting.支持该论点的人又称，歧视是潜在的。The bias，is said to be latent. 因为考试分数与种族和父母收入息息相关，所以它容易受到不同人种和社会阶级的影响。Because  scores are correlated  with race and parental income, the exams must therefore be contaminated with racism and classism.这个论点错误地认为教育不公平就是考试不公平。This confuses disparity with discrimination.考试成绩确实可以衡量教育的不公平，这种不公平从幼儿园之前就存在，并因政策不力而日益严重。Tests correctly measure educational inequality ,which begins before kindergarten and grows as a result of bad policy.  但正如砸碎温度计无法组织气候变化一样，废除考试也不会奇迹般地消除教育不公平。Just as smashing thermoters does not prevent climate change, so abanding the measurement of educational inequality will not magic it away.
