The state of Oregon will no longer require its students to demonstrate proficiency in math, reading and writing in order to earn a high school diploma in a bid to bolster minority students.
Gov. Kate Brown signed a bill late last month suspending the state's 'essential skills' requirement for graduation for the next three years while its Department of Education seeks alternative graduation requirements.
The bill extended a suspension of the requirements that was put in place during the coronavirus pandemic.
Proponents of the measure have said the state's proficiency specifications hurt disadvantaged students, while opponents say suspending them lowers the state's learning standards.
Charles Boyle, a spokesman for Brown, said the suspension will benefit 'Oregon’s black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color'.
'Leaders from those communities have advocated time and again for equitable graduation standards, along with expanded learning opportunities and supports,' Boyle said.
The bill, SB744, passed both chambers of Oregon's Democrat-led Legislature in June, largely along party lines, with pushback from Republicans.

It’s always been politically incorrect to demonstrate proficiency in reading, writing and arithmetic in Oregon — particularly in government. They’re just legalizing a fact. Keep Oregon an Antifa Utopia, and sane and competent people out.
Its clear Leftists believe in the Bell Curve.
Benefit how? This is nothing but keeping them down on the plantation. Dumb as rocks with no job skills. Heck, they won't be able to fill out a job application or sit through a fast food interview. 2 Big Macs + 2 fries + 2 drinks = ?
Educational system removes requirement that students show any signs of being educated.
Imagine if you're a black professional couple, having completed college and doing all the right things ro raise a family, and the demoncraps come along and tell you that you and your kids are too stupid to learn anything.
Pretty soon the only requirement to graduate will be determining whether or not the student ‘transitioned’ to another gender, or joined the lgbtq cabal
Might as well give the little weenies their diploma when they graduate from 9th grade. No longer a need for high school. Just make high school optional and elevate the standards.
Oregon public schools will become failure factories churning out illiterate dolts on an assembly line basis.
stupid uneducated people make good parasites dependent on big government
Wow Oregon Might be able to nudge West Virginia and Louisiana out of last place
Now there are now standards so that’s equitable.
