本文综述了加州与非裔学生智力测验有关的主要法律法规、法院判例、政策和实践。加州教育部（CDE）禁止为确定特殊教育资格而对非裔美国学生进行智力测试，这一禁令由特殊教育听证官员（SEHO）和协调合规审查员（CCR）实施。尽管CDE的限制是基于拉里·P案的结果，但我们发现：（a）CDE的政策与拉里·P案的裁决和意图背道而驰;（B）尽管使用了其他评估方法来衡量智力，但非洲裔美国人在特殊教育项目中的比例仍然过高;（c）非裔美国人在特殊教育中的比例过高并不是智力测试偏见的结果，而是更普遍的社会政治不平等造成的。最后，我们讨论了三个关键问题，以考虑在未来的反应拉里P.法院案件。
In this article, major laws, regulations, court cases, policies and practices related to intelligence testing of African American students in California are reviewed. A California Department of Education (CDE) ban on intelligence testing of African American students for the purpose of determining special education eligibility is in effect and enforced by Special Education Hearing Officers (SEHO) and Coordinated Compliance Reviewers (CCR). Although the CDE bases its restrictions on the results of the Larry P. case, we found that (a) the CDE policy runs counter to the ruling and intent of the Larry P. case; (b) overrepresentation of African Americans in special education programs continues despite the use of alternative assessment methods to measure intelligence; and (c) overrepresentation of African Americans in special education is not the result of intelligence test bias, rather, more endemic socio-political inequalities are to blame. We conclude with a discussion of three critical questions to be considered in future responses to the Larry P. court case.
