Oregon’s Democratic governor, Kate Brown, just signed a bill that eliminates the reading and math proficiency requirements for high school graduation in Oregon’s government-run schools.

Brown’s spokesman, Charles Boyle, said this will help “Black, Latino, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.”

Of course I totally disagree with Boyle. This will not help those students. On the contrary, it will hurt them.

I support high academic standards for students of all races and ethnicities. I hope the parents in Oregon will remove their children from these abominable, dumbed down government-run schools, and send their children to private schools. Not all private schools are expensive. Montessori schools, Marva Collins schools, and Catholic schools have a long term, proven track record of providing an excellent education to minority students, and they do so at a dollar cost that is far less, per student, than what the government-run schools spend on their dumbed down education.

Liberals think brown skinned people are incapable of learning. And we’re the racists.

If you're removing the proficiency requirements, then why not remove those classes altogether? What purpose do they now serve? Eliminate 2-3 classes per semester, and you can cut HS down to three years! That 25% cut in education costs can go to politician raises for thinking of such an een-geen-you-us idea!

You can't expect the coloreds and tribal savages to be as smart as our white children!

Democrats never change.

How very insulting to those minority students!
In essence, she is saying;

‘Everyone knows that only White Folks can learn how to read, count and speak at basic civilized levels. Plus most Asians. However, most minority children are apparently incapable of doing this same kind of learning.

Therefore, I am happy to inform you all, that we are dropping the bar to what is now acceptable for graduation. We are dropping that bar down to the ground, because that is the level of intelligence of most our minority school children;
Rock Bottom! Isn’t it wonderful?”

The very definition of racism by a white supremacist. Minorities are inferior so the standards must be lowered.

I went to high school in Rochester, New York from 1960-1965. The black kids I went to school with were no slouches. They were academic achievers, members of The Honor Society. They applied themselves far more than I ever did, and many went to college after graduation, something I didn’t attempt until I was almost 30. I can’t imagine what those same people think about what has happened to the school systems across the country. It’s pretty sad. Like I said on another thread, the Bill the Governor has signed has now legalized, what has been going on in the schools all along.

Our older son and wife are stuck in Oregon for several years and intend to homeschool. Our younger son and his wife intend to move to Wyoming before their children reach school age.

How pathetic. We are genuine native Oregonians born here in 1946 and 1953 respectively. Now we are in a foreign country.
