Our country has been infiltrated and taken over, half the population still asleep, heads buried in their phones, dumbed down, totally clueless. Dark days ahead sort of glad I won’t be around to see the bad ending. The other half waiting around to be saved by somebody or just fat and happy they got theirs and who cares. Ronald Reagan sums it all up.

Why does this matter? Who hires a high school grad based on their academic abilities? A high school degree means nothing.

It means nothing to most people but to a kid, who's on the verge of failing himself will do nothing and cruise through high school without having to try to learn anything.

I love how it designed to benefit the minorities.

Not sure why? Not sure exactly what this means.

I saw that. Face value it seems dumb. But, I would argue, Kate Brown is not dumb. I don't agree with her on many items. But, she is smart.

What is this REALLY about? It looks awful. I suspect there is more to this than the headline suggests. (Certainly hope so)

it matters because they are making it easier for kids to be stupid.
They are making it easier for kids to cruise through school without getting an education.
They are making themselves less effective and IMO, less valuable and less necessary.

Seems like we’re wasting a lot of time, resources and money on something that means nothing.

It’s about “equity.”

That means if a certain racial group doesn’t achieve well at something or is disinterested in it (high school proficiency, SAT scores, etc) that thing must be eliminated.
