Oregon has decided to suspend the requirement for high school students to demonstrate competency in reading, writing, and math for at least five more years.
Education officials argue that such requirements disproportionately harm students of color.
It defeats the point of tests and exams. Especially SATs which are required to into college. The officials are basically saying non white students aren't smart enough to pass school.
That site scores extremely high on the far right - misinformation and bias scale https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/analyzing-america/
You should be careful what you believe on that site - it'll probly tell ya Biden fixed the 2020 vote and other lies.
Having said that , as a lefty , I totally agree with the sentiments in the article, and believe the content of it on this occasion.
Turning a graduation certificate into a participation certificate does not seem a good idea.
I realize the people of Oregon are hopelessly stupid but unfortunately, for Oregon, Americans aren't. This has nothing to do with race. It has to do with schools that in twelve years the students do not acquire basic competency in reading, writing, and math. I realize the racist Democrats want to think blacks are inherently inferior but that's not the case. The schools are failing and not the students.
So what does handing out diplomas to everyone who shows up do for black students? It gives them a diploma that is just as worthless as the ones the other students get.
That's Democrat EQUITY. Isn't that fair and the teachers unions prefer teaching anal sex...
haha
one of the comments on reddit about this sory is
"It’s more important that standardized tests have been shown to be racially biased and not predicative of success in college."
I wonder how that happens?
