"Florida Universities Embrace SAT Alternative: Classical Test Approval Imminent"
Florida's public university system, including the University of Florida and Florida State University, is expected to become the first state system to approve the Classic Learning Test (CLT) as an alternative to the SAT for admissions. The CLT emphasizes the Western canon and Christian thought, and its approval is part of Governor Ron DeSantis' efforts to challenge the education establishment and the College Board. While some see the emergence of an alternative test as healthy and overdue, critics argue that the CLT's vision of classical education is too narrow or too expansive. The CLT's founder aims to diversify the material and expand the test into the public education system.
