Above the fray.
Have to read the law for myself, but if the headline is true this is along the lines of the "lowering the bar to help people" nonsense I've been arguing against for the past 3 years.

Makes thing worse long term.

The gap between the Elites and the average civilian is gonna increase so much in the next 10-20 years.

They leaving the peasants behind. Not even going to bother wasting resources. Just take your UBI check and spend it on subscription apps
People won't see it until it's too late.

You think there are achievement and wealth gaps and disparity now, give it 10 years.

Its from a conservative source, but anyway heres the purpose of the law

The bill, which suspends the proficiency requirements for students for three years, has attracted controversy for at least temporarily suspending academic standards amid the COVID-19 pandemic.


This is the problem with that “minorities” umbrella. This ain’t got nothing to do with Black folks. This is about immigrants who speak English as a second language.

This has to do with the pandemic and the impact it has had on current learning standards.

Proponents said the state needed to pause Oregon’s high school graduation requirements, in place since 2009 but already suspended during the pandemic, until at least the class of 2024 graduates in order for leaders to reexamine its graduation requirements. Recommendations for new standards are due to the Legislature and Oregon Board of Education by September 2022.

However, since 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 at the very earliest. That means at least five more classes could be expected to graduate without needing to demonstrate proficiency in math and writing.

Much of the criticism of the graduation requirements was targeted at standardized tests. Yet Oregon, unlike many other states, did not require students to pass a particular standardized test or any test at all. Students could demonstrate their ability to use English and do math via about five different tests or by completing an in-depth classroom project judged by their own teachers.


It's covid related

Good segment on last night's Fox News primetime with Lawrence Jones hosting discussing this topic:



We quoting maj toure :dead:

You knew what you were doing, this thread and source is misleading. This temporary law has to do with covids impact on strict learning requirement, nothing to do with " purposely dumbing down education due to minorities"
