Dumbing down of America Lowering the passing scores.....so they can graduate?

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that educating these children so they can *earn* a diploma was (oops!) overlooked as an option?

I can't even to imagine trying to refute logic such as this...

It's only a matter of time before Diplomas are discarded as discriminatory and unfair. Valedictorians are already being discussed as such to those kids who will never be one. We're not allowed to award excellence anymore, it makes the other kids "feel bad."
