[NON-BUSINESS] New law in oregon is so funny I nearly pissed myself reading it

[TheButcher]

All in the name of racial equality let's not educate all kids so the dumb ones can pass the tests. This has nothing whatsoever to do with race, it is dumb versus smart students.

Who needs to be proficient in math, reading or writing to graduate, no one let's pump out a bunch of illiterates. This line is just the icing on the cake:

"Supporters of the bill insist that considering math and reading essential skills has been an unfair challenge for students who do not test well..

Well no shit if you you can not pass a test it means you failed. How about we have the same low bar for brain surgeons, pilots and other professionals. No problem if you failed your medical school tests go do brain surgery, or hey not everyone can pass the flying test just go learn as you put peoples' lives at risk. What a lot of bs.


"Gov. Kate Brown, the Oregon Democrat, signed a bill last month with little fanfare that drops the requirement that high school students prove proficiency in reading, writing or math, before graduation, a report said.

The Oregonian reported that the governor has seemed to avoid discussing Senate Bill 744. Her move to sign the bill was "not public until recently, because her office did not hold a signing ceremony or issue press release." The paper also pointed out that the bill was first signed on July 14 but not added into the state’s database until July 29 due to a glitch in the system.

Brown’s office did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News.

In June, state lawmakers voted to approve the bill that suspended the requirements for students for three years, KATU reported. Foundations for a Better Oregon said in a statement at the time that the bill is intended to "truly reflect what every student needs to thrive in the 21st century." Supporters of the bill insist that considering math and reading essential skills has been an unfair challenge for students who do not test well. The report said the requirement was first suspended at the start of the pandemic.

The KATU report pointed out that Republicans have come out against the bill and claim that it lowers "expectations for our kids." But there was some bipartisan support.

Charles Boyle, the deputy communications director from Brown’s office, told the paper in an email that staff from the governor’s office informed legislative staffers about the bill's signing on the day it was passed. He also said that the new standards for graduation will help benefit the state’s "Black, Latino, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color."

The paper reported that the bill could stay in effect for five years until new requirements...."

Math and science are very important subjects to learn in life, this is a high tech world we live in, sports and arts are secondary.

The bar is already too low for math, I was 3 math classes ahead of what was required for graduation in high school and it wasn't that hard. There's no reason that I got a 4.2 except that the bar keeps getting lowered every year..

Isn't this discrimination against kids who learn and want to get a head in their education?
