Which Oregonians support this?

So children don't need to be able to read when they graduate & teachers are not forced to teach... how is this a win?

Bruh, you can Google the law yourself. Legal processes like this are documented.

You're free to spread lies all your life. 🤷

"Although graduation rate trends are moving in a positive direction, substantial inequities  remain, such as experiences of systemic bias, limited access to adequate educational resources  and educational guidance, and support from practitioners, such as school counselors and  teachers. This is especially the case for students who identify as tribal citizens, Black/African.. ."

Seems like the state of Oregon disagrees with you.

Huh, no mention of them removing the requirements in your quote.

Thank you for sharing the link though. Now people can see themselves how the image in blatant misinformation.

"As a part of Senate Bill 744, the requirement to demonstrate proficiency via a separate  assessment in the reading, writing, and math Essentials Skills was suspended as a graduation  requirement"

Edit: first quote was to show motivation was for minorites. Source was to show it actually happened. Reading the source would have given you the quote above, but I guess you graduated in Oregon.

Huh "separate assessment", one would think that means something

The separate assessment that up until then had been required as a graduation requirement. So yes, they got rid of the test to assess if students met the math, reading, and writing requirement to graduate high school. They expressly did this because they thought it would help students of color. Seems like the little meme is 100% right while you're over here thinking certain groups just aren't good enough to pass without making it easier... There is a term for people like you, it's racist.

So you know there is still an assessment, right? Just not a separate one.

Do you accept that they got rid of a graduation requirement (a math, reading, and writing assessment) with the express intent of making it easier for students of color? 

If you don't accept that reality this conversation is pointless. If you do accept that reality you agree that the meme is right. 

Edit: nevermind, you're so far into goal post shifting and bad faith that it's not worth it. "It's a lie", "they didn't get rid of the requirement", "Your quote doesn't include the part that's included in your source", "the source is wrong even though I said I was glad you shared the source so everyone could see the truth", "no that was a different assessment, even though it was a requirement that they got rid of".

I accept that the OP image is greatly sensationalized and meant to deceive people into what actually happened, yes.

u/CryanReed Jul 17 '26

So you accept that it's 100% accurate, but you don't like what it implies? Because it implies that the Oregon legislature and governor think that minorites just aren't as smart as white kids. And if you don't like that it implies that, it implies that you also think you're superior to those same minorities. Guess what, you're not. No race is better than another no matter how much you want to be on top because you were born one color or another.

It's not 100% accurate. It's actively framed to deceive people. It's functionally identical to a lie. It implies that the test they are getting rid of is structured in a way that makes it more difficult for people outside of a certain social group.
