ITA. Keying to the LCD is all too common in American education, and maybe in American culture in general. I despair at the mindset that says "Oh, let's just keep lowering our standards so people who aren't bright or motivated can still succeed/get what they want regardless of accomplishment or action." By removing all possible incentives to improve, the system literally stultifies the mainstream population and creates an ultimately untenable sense of entitlement.
