RACISM: Oregon Schools Suspend Basic Skills In Reading, Writing, Math to Graduate Because It ‘Harms Students of Color’
This is the most racist thing I’ve seen, and that’s saying allot considering the Democrats have come to define racism. Oregon students will no longer need to be proficient in reading, writing, and math to graduate. They’re doing this cuz of “inequity” and having standards to graduate “disproportionately harmed students of color.”
Blue state suspends basic skills graduation requirement again, citing harm to students of color
By Hannah Ray Lambert, Fox News
High schoolers in Oregon won’t need to demonstrate basic competency in reading, writing or math in order to graduate for at least five more years because, according to education officials, such requirements are unnecessary and disproportionately harm students of color.
“At some point … our diploma is going to end up looking a lot more like a participation prize than an actual certificate that shows that someone actually is prepared to go pursue their best future,” former Oregon gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazan told Fox News.
The essential skills requirement has been on pause since the coronavirus pandemic, and last week the Oregon State Board of Education voted unanimously to continue suspending the graduation requirement through the 2027-2028 school year.
Under the requirement, 11th graders had to demonstrate competence in essential subjects through a standardized test or work samples.
Students who failed to meet expectations were required to take extra math and writing classes in their senior year — thus missing an elective class — in order to graduate.
Christine Drazan says at some point diplomas will look like a “participation prize than an actual certificate that shows that someone actually is prepared to go pursue their best future.”
