The Florida State University system voted Friday to allow the use of the Classic Learning Test for admission, becoming the first state system in the nation to do so.
The Classic Learning Test uses the “greatest and most enduring texts that have informed and shaped society,” according to the frequently asked questions section on the exam website.
On the exam’s “About” page, the test is sold as existing to “reconnect knowledge and virtue by providing meaningful assessments and connections to seekers of truth, goodness, and beauty.” “This is not a Christian test, and we are not a Christian company. The CLT is a test for everyone from any educational background. We want people to know it is not a partisan exam. It is not a red-state exam,” CLT spokesperson Taryn Boyes told the Florida Phoenix.
Florida officials took a combative tone in advocating for accepting CLT for stage college admissions.
