School officials in Oregon have decided that proficiency in reading, writing and math are no longer necessary in order to graduate, reasoning that minority children are not testing well and therefore the current standards are “discriminatory”.
The Daily Mail reports that the State Board of Education there voted to suspend the need to prove standards in core skills for FIVE years because ‘equity’, or something.
The standards were put on hold during the pandemic, but no simply will not be brought back until 2027 as they have been deemed ‘harmful’ to students of color, students with disabilities and those learning English as a second language, the report notes.
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.”
