      Yeah, I vaguely remember hearing this as well. Some slight amount of research had me digging up that a month ago he wrote something in the WSJ with a conservative saying Desantis' plan to accept a Classic Learning Test over the SAT/ACT is fantastic basically. A test used primarily by home schooled kids and private schools seems fishy to me.

      I'll have to see if I find anything else.

        Yes, this is what is currently criticized as support for tests which do filter out plenty of people for classist and white supremacist reasons. However I personally don't know what the Classic Learning Test is supposed to be. But I wouldn't like to learn the classics for university exams and wouldn't want tests in any case.

      2012 - "Raegan was good actually for squashing communism" - West, apparently. I think his tweet about it is still up, but its easily findable.
