Jaime Escalante is spinning in his grave right now.
So what Oregon is really doing, is setting kids up for failure as adults.
And honestly, any minority should feel insulted that these “educators” don’t think they’re capable of excellence. I would.
I lived in the Emerald People’s Republic for many years, mostly in the 1980s, and most of that time in the Willamette Valley, in Eugene and Dallas.
By far the most bigoted, nasty, and mean-spirited people I ever met were Oregon leftists. And that was 35 years ago. I can’t imagine how metastasized those attitudes have become.
On the other hand, I did gain an appreciation for Nancy’s Yogurt and Birkenstocks, so there’s that. My gardens were fabulous. Otherwise, my best experience was leaving.
So Oregon Public “Schools” will graduate ALL students at the top of the class, the class being Useful Idiocy.
China loves the idea that Americans are destroying themselves.
Oregon, specifically Portland, wants to boycott Texas!!??
Folks, from this day forward, do not hire an Oregonian.
“If you don’t infantilize blacks...”
What they’re doing is not “infantilizing”, rather it’s calling blacks “too stupid to learn”.
If I was black I would be infuriated by such a policy.
“Minority students can’t take hard academic subjects.”

By the way, I (a white male) took calculus in high school, and passed the AP exam. So I identified with “Stand and Deliver”!!!!
Ow, burned.
This will sure help the lazy teachers.
"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.”
We will not achieve true equity until all are equally ignorant.
Maybe the upside of that is they can no longer claim to require certified teachers. After all, they can’t be graded.
