Oregon high school students won’t have to prove basic mastery of reading, writing or math to graduate from high school until at least 2029, the state Board of Education decided unanimously on Thursday, extending the pause on the controversial graduation requirement that began in 2020.

Yeah...everyone knows that “students of color” are too stupid to learn:

citing harm to students of color

Strange how that's not considered racist to imply students of color are dumb.

Relaxing requirements for POC's will make the degrees even more worthless.

When I first heard that quote, it was from George Bush in a speech...

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.

Gots to keep them on the plantation.

I don't care if the colored segment of the population wants to have its own standards as long as they don't impose that on the population
at large. Why should every child be penalized because of a minority which refuses to meet academic standards? Cum minimus laudem.

“controversial”

“Yo! ain’t gonna be no teachin’ us no white man English”

“A set up for future failure.”

Imagine the dilemma of hiring managers. The non POC students will be just as dumb as the POCs. So which one do you hire?

Which means the diploma is worthless. Watch the commies push to prohibit a skills test by any profession or public/private business when hiring.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“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!
