Gotta keep the Crayolas happy. Just tell them they are smart and hand out “Good Job” stickers and make the really dumb ones Valedictorians.

Because passing kids without teaching them anything does SO MUCH to help advance people of color?

Ditto what you said. U.S. Taxpayers have to pay to send the morons to “college” these days because employers just laugh at their diplomas and they can’t get jobs to pay their bills.

It’s no scam.
Not to Deep State.
But kids aren’t students.
They’re just the grist for Deep State’s diploma mills.

Private schools are booming here in SoCal. Most parents want a traditional education for their children.

“Sounds racist?” No! It IS racist. This is a great way to keep black folks on the plantation. Reading and writing were forbidden on some plantations in the Old South for this very reason. Democrats, both times.

Well think of the defenses.
#1 I did not learn no math in school so I can’t do tax return.....
#2 I did not learn no reading in school so I can’t understand laws....
and who’s to blame? Government, so it’s a get out of jail free card... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you are thinking about hiring someone from Oregon, you should give them a test on Mathematics, Reading and Writing. Better throw in a History Test as well.

What a total insult to “people of color”. The harm comes from the attitudes that support such insanity, especially the idea that they cannot rise to an academic challenge. This is the sort of nonsense that should result in demonstrations and protests.
To: hiho hiho
Of course they know that this harms all Oregonian students, and especially students of color.
Deceit and defining genuine success downward.

ended up having to take intensive senior-year writing and math classes to prove they deserved a diploma An alternate approach would be to do testing for reading and math at the start of EVERY year, and have non proficient students do NOTHING BUT reading, writing, and math until proficient.

My cousin worked for me for about 5 years. He could not write a 2 sentence memo on the simplest subject but he had a diploma from a government high school.

They’re admitting that they don’t think black students are smart enough to get passing grades, not even soft bigotry, it’s outright and overt racism.
