Oregon Governor Kate Brown signed a bill last month that high school students do not have to prove they can read, write, or do math before they graduate.
Senate Bill 744, which was passed in June and signed into law last month, suspends the proficiency requirements for students for three years, the
Washington Examiner reported.
According to the
Oregonian, Brown signed Senate Bill 744 privately and did not issue a news release on July 14, but wasn't added to the state's database until July 29, which isn't the norm.
Secretary of the Senate Lori Brocker, whose office is responsible for updating the legislative database, told the Washington Examiner that the bill wasn't uploaded to the database due to a staffer being out with medical issues during those 15 days.
Supporters of the bill say the existing skills were an unfair challenge to students who did not test well.
In an email to the media outlet
s, Charles Boyle, a spokesman for the governor, said the new standards for graduation would help benefit the state’s "Black, Latino, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color."
I wonder if they have to show-up for class or can they hire a substitute?
I swear the bottom is out of the bucket of any state where leftist dems have held sway for any length of time.
Just look at this leftist.....I wouldn't trust her with organizing a closet, much less running a state.
