It is the concept of standardized tests not administered by professionals that irks me (at least), not testing per se.

Right now the battle lines are drawn over tests. Not the type of test or how they administered. Just simply if we should have standardized tests at all. In California, many of those tests we took as kids have been removed. In California the California Teachers Association (and consequently the Democrat Party) are against any standardized testing. They are also against the firing of teachers unless they pretty much assault a student, they are for social promotion and against merit pay.
The only thing I agree with them is smaller class size.
