To: Tell It Right

“Perhaps the worst racism in America today is the soft bigotry of low expectations.” Posted by, “Tell It Right!”


OPINION: Published August 12, 2021 1:53 am EDT

Greg Gutfeld: Oregon is the latest state to decide reading, writing and math are racist!

The soft bigotry of low expectations has now become law!

So this is new. The state is mandating schools to become diploma mills. Oddly, the governor signed this Senate bill into law almost a month ago but didn’t brag about it.

There was no signing ceremony because again, writing is racist.

The state legislature had publicized other past laws but not this one. They hid it like a cold sore on prom night. I remember that.

It’s weird. Progressives have happily trumpeted a lot of crazy s-—. They’re even still bragging about defunding the police.

“The 200-question multiple-choice exam will be offered twice instead of once a year beginning in 2024 – and its passing score will be lowered from 145 to 143”

So the passing grade goes from 72.5% to 71.5%?

This doesn’t seem to be much of a difference.

Or am I missing something?

Should call it the “Limbo” instead of the Bar.

Judging by the last SC appointee, it’s been done already. Everywhere.

The Founding Fathers were a remarkable group of men but they made some mistakes. Letting the Three Lower Counties on Delaware be treated as a separate county from Pennsylvania was one of them.

The reason for inequality is inequality.

Inequality can’t be remedied

If it wasn’t much of a difference, they wouldn’t have to do it. Maybe it’s scored like the old SAT’s, and wrong answers are penalized.

Can the opening of the Algonquin J. Calhoun School of Law be far off?

Found this on some test-prep-looking web site: “In order to pass the Delaware bar exam, you must score at least 145. This equates to 145, based on the MBE’s 200-point scale. The scores of the exam sections are weighted as follows: written portion 60% and MBE 40%.”

How hard can the Delaware bar exam be if Brandon passed? You know, #76 (of 85) in his law class and #506 (of 688) in his undergraduate graduating class.

Frito Pendejo will be getting his law degree a few hundred years earlier than previously thought.

Practically speaking it probably isn’t much of a difference. The point though is the perceived necessity of lowering the standard at all simply because they believe minority law students cannot pass the test.

Speaking as a Pennsylvanian, I’m not sure anything would be much better if we had held on to those lower counties. Remember we did elect a Senator who is basically brain dead.

One used to have to get your fake bar accreditation certificate from a print shop. Now the state is passing them out.
