I'm retired, but would probably be happy to sign a letter sent by as many ATEGers as possible...a letter a bit more polite than our private comments! Keep us posted.
ATEG being affiliated with NCTE, wouldn't be appropriate for ATEG to issue a statement on this execrable test and make it known to both the state of Idaho and ATI? I don't know if such statements would have to be "vetted" by any higher-up NCTE committees or officers.
I found the home page for ATI:

Perhaps a letter signed by a number of us "experts" would at least inform them of the situation. Their contact info gives both a snail address and an e-mail address for comments.
