The report essentially finds multiple faults in the use, practice and stated efficacy of Standardized testing. The essential recommendations are comprehensive, exhaustive and definitive in scope. The Report recommends severely limiting the use and utilization of standardized testing as a means of measuring progress, proficiency, readiness and especially as a determining factor in College Admissions.

And Even More Areas of Interest: The History & Legacy of the Black Panther Party

In the words of Kathleen Cleaver:

"What I see as important to do is to make it [the legacy] accessible, to make that knowledge, that history, that phenomenon that was the Black Panther Party as accessible as possible to another generation, so they can benefit from those mistakes; they can benefit from those advances; and they can essentially learn from the past."
