Perhaps the worst racism in America today is the soft bigotry of low expectations.

You are correct. I taught for many years in urban high schools. Some were majority black. A good portion of the kids (black and white) had attendance and behavior problems.
But the black kids who came to class every day and paid attention did well, every bit as good as the white kids.
So the key, of course, is not to lower the passing scores. It’s to figure out ways to get more black kids to make those scores. But I guess that would take a bit of courage, and lots of work. So never mind.
Because of the lower standards companies no longer accept an engineering degree as a sign of competence. They either make you take a test, or they insist on a certificate from a private organization like The American Society of Quality Engineers. To get that you must take the society’s courses and tests which are very expensive, and you’ll need to pay them every year plus take continuing education every year. Whereas I was able to apply for quality jobs, management jobs and engineering jobs with one degree now you’ll need a certificate for each job type.

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.
