Gov. Kate Brown signed a law to allow Oregon students to graduate without proving they can write or do math. She doesn’t want to talk about it.

The KKK had issues with Blacks — when asked to justify, it had no comment.

What education does a peep need to be a professional rioter?

Time to admit that the government schools are merely subsidized babysitting. If they don’t have to have learned anything in order to graduate, then why not just hand every 5-year-old a high school diploma and stop wasting all this time and money? Close down the schools and let parents find alternate child care. Oh wait, I forgot. The indoctrination is the important part. The left needs those years to turn the kiddies into communists.

Considering the job prospects in OR, they are just going to crank out homeless people.

Boyle said in an emailed statement that suspending the reading, writing and math proficiency requirements while the state develops new graduation standards will benefit “Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.”

So she's saying only white students possess the intelligence required to learn reading and arithmetic?

“For the next five years, an Oregon high school diploma will be no guarantee that the student who earned it can read, write or do math at a high school level.”

It hasn’t been for 50 years.

Their demonstrated skills standards are closer to 5th grade.

Same with every public school system.

All standards, where they even still exist, are tuned to the average kid of color. Average IQ of 85. Barely able to make change, struggles with long division and can’t comprehend a newspaper article. It’s difficult to underestimate a kid with an 85 IQ.

That’s the reality of modern America.

Why there are white and asian kids in public school is baffling to me. There is absolutely nothing there for them.

How long has that already been going on? She just legalized it, that’s all.

Last 60+ years in “Blue” areas:

Minority kids don’t get educated...
without basic skills they don’t get hired at good jobs...
not getting hired by (especially white owned) business... proves “systemic racism”...

WokeLeftazis demand these uneducated people get hired (er...paid, work is optional) or legal action will be taken against businesses.

Minority kids are told racism (not lack of education) are holding them back... they then riot, loot and burn... inter city’s become free-fire zones, crime/drug/gang infested Hell holes... gun control is demanded by LeftWokeazis!

Rinse-repeat.

Molding new recruits for Antifa and BLM is more important than reading or arithmetic.

Can you say ‘Dumbing down”?

What would ‘high expectations’ be in this environment? Counting on your fingers at age 18?

So, this is the superior performance that a majority of Oregon voted for? Really?
