ASU later terminated Duhe’s contract after accusations were made against her by several former and current Loyola University students citing racial bias by Duhe.

I hope she wins.

They could probably find work at Google these days.

His mind was often confused about reality.

No doubt that the average aptitude level for teachers has declined from the days that female college graduates were channeled into nursing and teaching. Nonetheless, for teachers passing the Praxis teacher certification tests, their SAT scores compared to other college graduates are not quite what you claim. The Educational Testing Service’s report, Teacher Quality in a Changing Policy Landscape: Improvements in the Teacher Pool compares the SAT scores of those who passed the Praxis tests for teacher certification with the average SAT scores of other college graduates.

We find from Figure 20 that for all college graduates who took the SAT-Verbal, the average score was 543. Teachers in the following specialties had an average score below the average SAT Verbal of 543: Physical Education, Special Education, and Elementary Education(517). Teachers in the following specialties scored above the average SAT Verbal of 543:Art & Music, Mathematics, Social Studies, Foreign Languages, Science, and English, in order of increasing scores.

Reading from the bar graph, I would estimate that certified English teachers averaged 573 on the SAT-Verbal. No, not top-of-the-line, but far from bottom of the barrel, and above the average college graduate.

We find from Figure 21 that for all college graduates who took the SAT-Math, the average score was 542. Teachers in the following specialties had an average score below the average SAT-Math of 542: Physical Education, Special Education, Elementary Education(510),Art & Music,English, Social Studies, and Foreign Languages, in order of increasing scores. We are not particularly concerned about Math SAT scores for English or Social studies teachers. For teaching specialties where math skills are important, Science (570) and Math ( 595) teachers scored above the 542 SAT-Math that college graduates averaged. (I am estimating from a bar graph) Not bottom-of-the-barrel, but instead above average.

Offhand I don’t know how elementary teacher SAT scores go in a quintile, but they are only 25-30 points below the average. I guess that is higher than bottom quintile, but that is a guess.
Secondary teachers are in the middle, and above average in the SAT scores related to their specialties.
