ending the requirement for high school students to prove proficiency in reading, writing, and arithmetic before graduation.

Who needs reading, writing, and math…

new standards for graduation would aid Oregon's "Black, Latino, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color."

BS on asians needing a dumbed down standard. BS on Latinos as well outside of illegals just crossing border. Really BS on any of them needing a lower standard outside of those that don’t want to put forth an effort in school and just want things handed to them.

Sounds like they are ending a test and if you made the grade you don't have to take a graduation test. Am I wrong on that? I didn't take any graduation test. The whole education system is whack which is why I train my dog and dont plan on having kids.

Well that’s racist

That’s just bizarre…..

How can they be expected to fill out their IRS forms if they can't read, write or do math? To get their refunds from the feds?

So what they are saying is, if your white your smart enough to read, write, and do math. But if your ghetto trash and can’t and only language you speak is Ebonics, they are just going to give you a high school diploma and tell you good job… how about just give them job applications to car-washes and fast food restaurants, and help them fill it out (considering they can’t read) and tell them good luck

It’s always funny when someone jumps in a thread like this, about education, and then types like a fricking five year old who speaks English as a second language.

As long as you can name the 78 sexes you’ll be ok in Oregon.
