Chemical Class?

An article on Neuroanthropology.net from this past summer about The New Performance Enhancing Drugs weighs in on the pros and cons of general amphetamine use, especially for students. While widespread adderall popping encouraged of an entire population for progressive brain functioning to occur (And for what? SATs and College exams are the examples the authors give for the great potential need to take the things - I could agree with stuffing our young, malleable minds with foundational information for one's future, richer, heightened happiness- the linguistic and conceptual tools with which to interact with the world as well as, and for as long as one can, but this requires a pace and certain degree of health, and hopefully these little guys don't have too terrible long term effects on that aspect of things. And will these chemical compounds really strengthen synaptic connections and help us access ESSENTIAL information later? And could the beginning of absorbing facts under an uniform high be the end of poetry?) brings to mind visions of pills, hip-checking the grain's portion of the food pyramid base over for priority, and a transformation of the ''competitive edge' into an electrical fence, separating the cream of the crop (only a handful of prescribed, and perhaps run-ragged and neurotic achievers) from the watery milky stuff or whatever that idiom implies...

I don't really understand how the Law professor interviewed in the article could assert "that cognitive enhancers may potentially “level the playing field,” allowing disadvantaged students to overcome educational gaps. Take the example of standardized tests like the SAT, which many colleges like Notre Dame use in evaluating applicants. These tests have been shown to be statistically biased against African Americans, Hispanics and other ethnic minorities (Freedle, 2008)"
Is this professor really informed by Darwin-era racism that ethnic minorities are disadvantaged in a way that is cognitive? Would not the encouraged, widespread- for those who were aware of, or could afford- use of expensive amphetamines exacerbate the problem of overcoming the competition from wealthier, 'better' educated (for the SATS anyway) non-minority students, by adding to their pool of educational resources, whatever new form they have taken? The reason for the disparity in test taking scores is obvious and well documented, and it should go without saying that it is not the lack of potential ability to learn. The heightened competition by way of amphetamines of course, is already the problem.
Oh working class coffee.
