Oregon Governor Drops Reading, Writing and Math Proficiency Standards For High School Graduation, Office Says it will Help People of Color
Conservative Treehouse ^ | 8/10/2021

Posted on 08/10/2021 6:37:30 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

This is called ‘the soft bigotry of low expectations‘. Oregon Governor Kate Brown has cancelled the proficiency standards for reading, writing and math from High School graduation requirements.

The governors office says “suspending the reading, writing and math proficiency requirements … will benefit “Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.”

In essence, the students of color are not smart enough to learn reading, writing or math – so they shouldn’t be expected to read, write or understand mathematics.

Kate Brown looks, sounds and acts like a typical left-wing moonbat. It’s hard to imagine a state governor saying the minority students in the state are not smart enough to pass proficiency standards; thereby signaling her extreme racist perspectives- and gaining cheers from her leftist tribe; yet here we are.

OREGON – […] Through a spokesperson, the governor declined again Friday to comment on the law and why she supported suspending the proficiency requirements.

Brown’s decision was not public until recently, because her office did not hold a signing ceremony or issue a press release and the fact that the governor signed the bill was not entered into the legislative database until July 29, a departure from the normal practice of updating the public database the same day a bill is signed.

The Oregonian/OregonLive asked the governor’s office when Brown’s staff notified the Legislature that she had signed the bill. Charles Boyle, the governor’s deputy communications director, said the governor’s staff notified legislative staff the same day the governor signed the bill.

If it’s racist to say that blacks are smart enough to be held to the same academic standards as whites ... you might be a Democrat.

Democrats think so.
And POC seem to vote for Democrats.
So maybe there’s something to it.

When a critical percentage of the population is mediocre and incapable of achieving basic skills, then standards drift downward to accomadate the new “average”. Rugged individualism, self learning and development are now as they have always been, critically important. It is inevitable that decent, rational people will do all they can to avoid the uneducated and crass.

They are certainly sufficiently gullible to continue to support the rats.

I’m sure that the teacher’s union fully supports this. While there are some dedicated teachers, there are MANY who are happy just being VERY well paid BABYSITTERS.

Libs whine because the salary gap between college degreed whites and blacks hasn’t closed and state it due to racism. Could the reason be it’s because blacks pursue degrees in the soft sciences; the ones that basically have zero value?

"The governors office says “suspending the reading, writing and math proficiency requirements … will benefit “Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.”"

Why bother going to school, then?
One would think people from those groups would be insulted, even enraged, at that sort of statement.

Learning to cope in today’s society is racist.

Exactly who is being measured by the ‘Standard’?
Their argument is that when Jane fails, it hurts Jane; but what if Jane’s entire class fails? Or the entire school fails to meet the standard?
Maybe the students are the problem.
