nothing like the BLATANT racist bigotry of low expectations... RATS won't be happy till they are left grunting and pointing with one hand while smacking themselves on the forehead with the other to ask for something they want!
If they could, the Democrats would pass laws forbidding POC (aka “colored people”) from being taught how to read and write so this is the next best thing.
First they removed discipline from schools, then they lowered the standards for passing grades and soon they will be teachers that are incapable of teaching how to read and write.
A long way around but the Democrats will have managed to put POC back to the late 1800s.
They won’t be happy until Public Education is the blind leading the blind (as it were). It is almost that way right now, but it can get worse. A lot worse.
Just what we need-teachers who can’t read or pass tests on basic academics turning out more HS graduates who can’t pass tests on basic academics-I’m sure their students will be hired for a position with responsibilities and excellent pay or accepted to a university to study engineering or physics right out of the box...
Terrific, underperforming teachers to serve underperforming schools. What could possibly go wrong?
So we are going to have stupid people teaching stupid kids. Is this a great country or what?
What I don’t quite get is the complete lack of outrage by Black and Latino Americans at the Dems constant assertions that they are just plain too stupid to compete with Whites and Asians.
Just skip on to the degree, save the time and give them the degree.
Oregon students shouldn’t have to prove they can write or do math to get a diploma, lawmakers decide!

Students in the class of 2021 did not have to prove they could write or do math at a basic level to earn their diplomas. A bill headed to Gov. Kate Brown would prohibit any such requirement at least until 2027.
A bill to prohibit Oregon schools from requiring students to show they can read, write and do math at a basic high school level is headed to Gov. Kate Brown after lawmakers gave final approval Wednesday.
The idea is to hit pause on the requirements, in place since 2009 but already suspended during the pandemic, at least until the class of 2024 gets their diplomas and for Oregon to thoughtfully reexamine its graduation requirements in the meantime. A report recommending what the new standards should be is due to the Legislature and Oregon Board of Education by September 2022.
But since Oregon has long insisted it would not impose new graduation requirements on students who have already begun high school, new requirements would not take effect until the class of 2027 at the very earliest. So at least five more classes could be expected to graduate without needing to demonstrate roughly 10th grade level proficiency in math and writing.
The decision to remove the skills requirement was largely but not entirely a party-line one, with Democrats staunchly opposing the proficiency rules and Republicans decrying what they see as a lowering of academic standards.
A spokesperson for Brown told The Oregonian/OregonLive Wednesday she has yet to decide whether she will sign the bill, veto it or allow it to become law without her signature.
Oregon, unlike other states, did not require students to pass a particular standardized test or any test at all. Students could show their ability to use English and do math via about five different tests or by completing an in-depth classroom project judged by their own teachers. In reality, most schools relied primarily on standardized tests and most students easily passed them.
But demonstrating proficiency proved most challenging for students who learned English as a second language, students with disabilities and students of color.
Officials on the Oregon Board of Education, when they enacted the “essential skills” graduation requirement more than a decade ago, said they hoped no student would be denied a diploma for lacking the skills but that schools would step up and help juniors and seniors who hadn’t mastered enough English or math to do so. Many high schools created special math and writing workshop classes for seniors who needed to demonstrate those skills to get their diplomas.
The bill calls on the diverse committee studying graduation requirements to come up with a recommendation “with the goal of ensuring that the processes and outcomes related to the requirements for high school diplomas are equitable, accessible and inclusive.”

Ability and talent are irrelevant now. What color you are and sexual preference along with which of the 300 genders you identify with are most important. Welcome to the USAFUBAR.
“Students of Color ain’t that smart, M’kay? You gots to train them for a good year afore they can pull a rope or push a sweep broom. Then they kin make enough money to pay fer the food they eat.”
I always ask any new Doctor I see if they got into Medical School through affirmative action or did they actually study
More incompetent teachers. Yay.

Oh! THIS is a winner!
“IF YOUR STANDARDS ARE TOO HIGH, LOWER YOUR STANDARDS!”
College can be rough - why not give ‘people of color’ a degree based on color? They can start ‘teaching’ right out of high school that way.
It’s racist to expect them to attend classes.
Incompetence the standard employees like it isn’t bad enough all ready par for democrat logic.
Half of them will be in congress in two years.
