Making Oregon great again. Oregon Governor signs new law allowing students to graduate without proving they can read, write, or do math (thepostmillennial.com)

An Oregon high school diploma does not guarantee that students who earned it can read, write or do math at a high school level.

An Oregon high school diploma does not guarantee that students who earned it can read, write or do math at a high school level. Governor Kate Brown dropped the requirement that students demonstrate they have achieved those essential skills by signing Senate Bill 744 into law. She declined again Friday to comment on why she supported suspending the proficiency requirements, reported OregonLive.

The bill was not entered into the legislative database until July 29, a departure from the standard practice of updating the public database the same day a bill is signed. Charles Boyle, the governor’s deputy communications director, said the governor’s staff told legislative staff the same day the governor signed the bill. Boyle said in an emailed statement that suspending the reading, writing and math proficiency requirements will benefit "Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of colour."

He added: "Leaders from those communities have advocated time and again for equitable graduation standards, along with expanded learning opportunities and support."

Lawmakers did not pass any significant expansion of learning opportunities or support for black, Indigenous and students of colour during the 2021 legislative session.

Democrats in the legislature overwhelmingly supported ending the longtime proficiency requirement, while Republicans criticized it for lowering academic standards. A couple of lawmakers crossed party lines on the votes.

Proponents said the state needed to pause Oregon’s high school graduation requirements. Since 2009 but suspended during the pandemic, until the class of 2024 graduates for leaders to reexamine its graduation requirements. Recommendations for new standards are due by September 2022.

Oregon education officials have long insisted they would not impose new graduation requirements on students who have already begun high school. New requirements would not take effect until the class of 2027. That means at least five more classes could graduate without demonstrating proficiency in math and writing.

I guess we are going back to slavery days when you don't educate the slaves less they wise up and refuse to be slaves. Nothing prepares a child for the world like not being able to read, write or do arithmetic. Next thing you know they will remove the bible from schools and teach that God doesn't exist.

For decades the cabal's fake schools and universities have been making sure our kids are illiterate, incompetent, and thoroughly brainwashed into mindlessly embracing ongoing official satanic nwo lies and perversions.

Spot on! I witnessed this a couple years after I graduated High School. All of a sudden kids rights to leave the school grounds for lunch was revoked. I thought it outrageous when I was 20. Now I know their game.
