Highschool in Oregon just turned into daycare for older infants.

Pol Pot marched the educated class out to the killing fields to quickly implement an agrarian utopia. Oregon is Cambodia in slow motion.

Perhaps this will make the “Abandon Oregon” movement official. Leave, for your own sake.

Damn. I was too late. I could easily been the valedictorian with these standards.


Don’t be absurd. Valedictorians are examples of white supremacy. There’ll be no valedictorians in the new order.

Asking a high school graduate to be able to prove that he/she/it can read, write and do math is so obviously racist, one hardly knows where to begin. Any form of measurement that shows favored groups falling short is by definition racist, sexist, ableist, colorist (a new term I learned today) and cannot be used.

I saw a light black cable TV show recently applauding a Dad teaching his kids about cooking (when they added spices to TV dinners), business (when they took tubes of eye lash makeup and added glitter, then re-marketed on e-bay), and Math and music (when they taught math by adding rap phrases to gangsta-songs).

They insisted they couldn’t learn unless it was taught from their culture.

They confuse white-culture as anything foreign to their gangsta lifestyle.

One thing I appreciated about college and attending a university, was learning an academic topic completely foreign to me and learning that ‘language’ and how they thought. Learning Tort Law, which I had never really been exposed or understood, would be labelled ‘racist’ by this younger generation who hate anything “white”.

“Equitable”. I’m beginning to despise that word.

Students should take an aptitude tests every year and receive classes and education that aligns with their abilities. Many kids would be better served learning additional life and vocational skills.

I can’t wait until medical schools start doing this and stupid doctors begin working on people. What could go wrong?

This is just so they can have even more excuse for infinite H1Bs in 10-15 years.

How incredibly insulting to black people. Liberals are the worst sorts of racists.

If there is one thing that is NOT racist, it’s math. Two plus two equals four not matter who adds it. Only the mentally ill would claim that math is racist.
