Landmark Trial Challenges Culturally Biased IQ Tests
Six black students led by James Lannigan sue California and San Francisco boards arguing that IQ tests used to place them in educable mentally retarded classes are biased. The suit seeks to stop using these tests for EMR placements and to align Black student representation with school demographics. The case, filed in 1971 and opening in court in 1974, argues IQ tests racially discriminate while experts cite cultural bias and the need for contextual interpretation.
