A federal judge will decide whether Texas' high-school exit exam unfairly discriminates against minorities. The case is being closely watched by educators nationwide and has the potential of impacting Gov. George W. Bush's presidential race. Bush proposed that federal education funding be tied to student testing. The suit may also impact Bush's crackdown on social promotions. Lawmakers earlier this year voted to base promotion in lower grades in large part on a student's performance on statewide tests.
