Sure gonna put a crimp on their career skills as surgeons, pilots, engineers, scientists, teachers, lawyers…….
Well, maybe not lawyers
So glad that I left that Hades hole.
Like Rush would say “The soft bigotry of low expectations”
Yeah...everyone knows that “students of color” are too stupid to learn:

Strange how that's not considered racist to imply students of color are dumb.
So basically that's saying that students of color are incapable of mastering reading, writing or math.
I really hope that minorities see that that is a tacit DemocRAT party admission that they don’t think that minorities can hack the requirements of a civilized life. Funny, I’ve trained minority instructor and fighter pilots, and while a Department Chair, sent minorities to get real college degrees (e.g. STEM - through doctorates). Funny how none of them turned out to vote for the party of the Klan. Of course, the non-math, non reading, and non IQ folks can always become DEI types, Democrat politicians, or journalists.
A set up for future failure.
“controversial”
“Yo! ain’t gonna be no teachin’ us no white man English”
Which means the diploma is worthless. Watch the commies push to prohibit a skills test by any profession or public/private business when hiring.
“Higher rates of students of color, students learning English as a second language and students with disabilities ended up having to take intensive senior-year writing and math classes to prove they deserved a diploma.”
Maybe if they had worked harder and applied themselves more in the previous 11 years they wouldn’t be jammed up in their senior years!
But hard work and applying yourself are white man attributes. Can’t have any of that. Nosiree!
Blessed are the ignorant and literate, for they shall inherit the Earth
Oregon Eliminates Educational Standards
As a new school year begins, Oregon students are no longer required to demonstrate skills in reading, writing, and math. Until 2026, an Oregon high school diploma no longer guarantees academic achievement, but only participation in a system with undefined parameters. The legislators, school districts, and the governor supporting Senate Bill 744 saw that this “will benefit Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color”.
The state has adopted the position held by many 19th century abolitionists. When I read Fredrick Douglass’ autobiographies, one passage always stays with me. After speaking to an abolitionist audience, Douglass considered the evening a great success, because he concluded his talk believing these people were convinced, he was equally human with them.
He mentioned this as a significant event, because many strong supporters of black freedom questioned whether these people were fully human. If educators would treat minorities as individuals, they would design programs allowing opportunities for achievement commensurate with those for white students.
I remember Dr. Martin Luther King saying, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character…..little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.”
To me their understanding of brotherhood and individual value proves more meaningful than any perception of racial superiority.
Funny, all the black kids I went to high school with in the 60’s, managed to pass the curriculum, regents exams, and graduate with no special assistance from the school system. Some were even in the National Honor Society.
But they had better be able to name at least 25 genders and successfully display knowledge of how to apply for welfare and food stamps.
Then there’s no need for education at all. Release the kids from the public school prison already.
