Racing towards America's collapse...Oregon Governor signs new law allowing students to graduate without proving they can read, write, or do math!!!!

[The Purge]

An Oregon high school diploma does not guarantee that students who earned it can read, write or do math at a high school level.

Governor Kate Brown dropped the requirement that students demonstrate they have achieved those essential skills by signing Senate Bill 744 into law. She declined again Friday to comment on why she supported suspending the proficiency requirements, reported OregonLive.

The bill was not entered into the legislative database until July 29, a departure from the standard practice of updating the public database the same day a bill is signed. Charles Boyle, the governor’s deputy communications director, said the governor’s staff told legislative staff the same day the governor signed the bill.

Boyle said in an emailed statement that suspending the reading, writing and math proficiency requirements will benefit "Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of colour."

Oregon education officials have long insisted they would not impose new graduation requirements on students who have already begun high school. New requirements would not take effect until the class of 2027. That means at least five more classes could graduate without demonstrating proficiency in math and writing.

Oregon, where "math is racist".
Damn, we need more scholars like that.
Give all minorities Ph.D's and MDs.

Nothing in the EEOC says you have to accept an OR high school diploma. Since they don't meet requirements, they can have their accreditation removed. Good move Kate Brown--moron.

 

[Canon Shooter]

Well, I guess I can go ahead and put people from Oregon on my "do not hire" list...

 

[Natural Citizen]

It figures it'd be something like that. Heh heh. My goodness.

Along those lines, I just saw someone in another thread invoke how well they paid attention in political science class, only to proceed by premising their entire response on the empty words left and right.

I was like....

Did the teacher's union back this move?

 

[daveman]

And leftists have the temerity to claim conservatives hate education.

 

[wamose]

And some of you still say Democrats aren't fucked up?

 

[lantern2814]

I’d say this is a surprise, but leftists run that state so it really isn’t. Good luck getting into college or getting a job without being literate.

But they could still become a Democrat party leader or the head of antifa or BLM.

If you don't live in Oregon this doesn't affect you. This is a yawner.

The law had overwhelming Democrat support & is justified on the basis that it will benefit non-white students.

All it does is just delay for a few years any attempt to have uniform state-wide standardized proficiency tests. Individual school systems have their own various ways of measuring proficiency already, including various standardized tests. I thought the republicans were in favor of letting locals decide things. Guess not.

 

[pknopp]

Now I could be wrong but I read this as Oregon trying to enact graduation standards as they didn't have them and they are expected to be set by 2022 but students already in high school were told they would not fall under these new standards.

Oregon, unlike many other states, did not require students to pass a particular standardized test or any test at all.

So Oregon had NO standard tests to graduate but soon they will. Those already in high school will be judged on the old standards.

Sorry...this just came to mind. I had to. LOL! Sheeeeeeeiiiiit.
