Woke Alert: How is this helping high school kids of color?

If that's the case, then there is no reason to go to public schools in Oregon. Parents in that state will either have to educate their own children or creat coops for educating their children.
 
Oregon Governor sign law removing Reading, Writing and Math to help students of color.

How is this helping them?

:yikes: Truly and horribly racist of the Gov. She's essentially said students of color are unable or too stupid to learn, learn certain things, and/or learn to a certain level.

Where's the outrage? Where's Black Lives Matter (BLM)? ACLU? ACLJ? EEOC? Title IX, etc. enforcement officials? Lawyers? Surely out of all those lawyers looking for a cause and/or a class action to file, there's one that would like to take this on.

Where are the parents? ALL the parents?

Where are the Articles of Impeachment or whatever the State equivalent is there?

Where's the petition for recall?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
 

Oregon governor signs bill ending reading and math proficiency requirements for graduation​

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown privately signed a bill last month ending the requirement for high school students to prove proficiency in reading, writing, and arithmetic before graduation.

Brown, a Democrat, did not hold a public signing or issue a press release regarding the passing of Senate Bill 744 on July 14, and the measure, which was approved by lawmakers in June, was not added into the state's legislative database until more than two weeks later on July 29, an unusually quiet approach to enacting legislation, according to the Oregonian.

Secretary of the Senate Lori Brocker's office is responsible for updating the legislative database, and a staffer tasked with dealing with the governor's office was experiencing medical issues during the 15-day time frame it took the database to be updated with the recently signed law, Brocker said.


I don't think they've stopped teaching STEM, they're just not requiring students to test for proficiency before graduation. I actually don't think the proficiency test proves anything anyway. In Alaska my kids passed the required proficiency test the first time they took it, which was as freshman or sophomores... my point being that the proficiency test in most states is set at a very low standard to begin with, otherwise very few would pass it.

I understand that in Louisiana the high school equivalency exam is a high hurdle, that's my understanding based on the documentary "The Waterboy", the story of a typical young man growing up in the great state of Louisiana.
 
The phenomena of testing high school students prior to graduation is a fairly recent requirement in most states. It became necessary when it was discovered that the majority of students were getting their high school degrees without the benefit of an education.
 
It used to be that tests, homework, projects, and papers were graded fairly, the students earned their grades, and a certain number and assortment of credits with passing grades were required for graduation. Instead one giant proficiency test, proficiency was an ongoing proving of achievement.

Companies like Pearson would loses $Billions if giant standardized testing was abandoned everywhere. This might be a good thing, since most, if not all, Pearson textbooks are anti-Bible and pro-evolution, woke, etc.
 
So, Oregon is going to help their next generation grow up to be illiterate idiots. And they can have all the hard drugs they want! Oh America, just look at the height from which you have fallen!
 
First they legalized marijuana then removed standards for testing in schools. Then they started teaching them CRT and alphabet mafia curriculum.

Sounds like they are processing them for failure. The unlearned are easily led.
 
If I was an Oregon student of color I would be so offended!

They don't make white boys take the test either... but I guess even white boys have some color, they're just the only race that doesn't get to claim that they've got some color...
