Under a new law, just signed by the Governor, students in Oregon will no longer be required to be able to read, write, and do arithmetic in order to graduate from high school!
From Dyspeptic Mutterings
By Dale Price
It is often said that federalism is a laboratory that allows States to try their own solutions to assorted domestic problems.
If that's the case, the Beaver State is brewing up a bold concoction:
Students no longer have to demonstrate proficiency in reading, writing and math to get a diploma.
Why?
Equity is a jealous god:
The governor’s deputy communications director said that dropping the requirements “will benefit Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.”
The hard bigotry of no expectations has returned.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
