Boyle said in an emailed statement that suspending the reading, writing and math proficiency requirements while the state develops new graduation standards will benefit “Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.”
This is fucking laughable!
So the presumption here is that minorities are unable to meet the standards of their white counterparts. So the solution is to remove the standard because the root cause is race!!
This is racist as all shit and demonstrably untrue. The biggest predictors of academic success is parental involvement and parental socio-economic status.
Why won't a single Dem tackle the root cause? Can the truly believe that success is tied to race? Why continue to push the welfare system for minorities?
Wouldn't helping people feel equity in their communities be a better solution? How about zero interest loans to start small businesses? What about true educational reform (peer system, platonic schools etc.) Figure how to provide the tools for upward mobility?
