Excerpt:
"The Beaver State's Democrat-dominated legislature passed a bill in mid-June, SB 744, dropping requirements that would-be graduates demonstrate they have achieved essential high school-level reading, writing, and math skills for the next five years, the paper said. The move was an extension of the suspension of skills requirements that had been enacted last year in response to the pandemic.

Oregon, unlike other states, did not require standardized tests — which are often regarded as being unfair to minority communities — to show proficiency. Students had a number of options to show subject proficiency: They could choose from a number of different tests or complete classroom projects judged by their own teachers, the Oregonian added."

    I don't understand this because I thought initiatives like NCLB and Common Core were supposed to set federal standards. What were those idiots acting like clowns and getting arrested for 10 years ago, if state gov't can still avoid the standards. I didn't look for an article from a real newspaper, but it wouldn't surprise me if there is some truth to this Blaze article.

    I think this is so important b/c people are debating if the gov't should pay for college and forgive student loans, instead of improving high-school standards.

    it was il-legal in most slave states to teach slaves to read/write

    we are there again

    different slaves, tax slaves to the State

    different methods, just do not bother to teach them, their parents are too clueless to care

    Why do they have to be able to read and write. Everything they need to know can be learned by watching MSNBC and CNN.

    LOL, what makes you think those HS grads from Oregon will know how to pick fruit? Oh yeah, there will be a special state program to teach them post graduation.

    Good slaves don't need reading and math skills. It's for their own good because it only confuses them. It underscores the "idiot" in the phrase "Useful idiot".

    My third grade teacher needed a way to control me. Since I was attentive to all my school assignments, she picked on my penmanship which was better than some and worse than others.
    Her praise for the things I did well was like the NYT praising Trump. She is dead. I am alive and today I get praise for my handwriting, too, but it has nothing to do with her teaching.

    I've had numerous young people admire my handwriting, which I think has seriously deteriorated over the years. They ask how I accomplished the skill to write so beautifully. Hours and hours of penmanship in school! We were graded on it!

    I guess this means the US borders can now be closed since there will be ample fruit pickers available graduating from High School in Oregon.
