I cannot express how dangerous DOJ's actions are to free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028. Access to and the misuse of this data is almost certain to be the central fight for the 2026 midterms. Yet, too few are paying attention and treating this as seriously as they should.

Grade 3 and 6 math and literacy EQAO testing results (whenever they are released) are examined at the school level, district-wide and province-wide (spoiler alert: kids living below the poverty line tend to do a lot worse than kids in wealthy neighborhoods).

Also - looking at cohort effects and pretending year over year changes are particularly meaningful is very stupid.

But I'm pointing at the political stupidity of it all. The way the test results are interpreted is silly in general.
