Two years ago, we discussed how Oregon schools solved declining scores by eliminating their requirements that graduates actually attain levels of proficiency in basic subjects like math and English.

In 2021, the changes were portrayed as just a temporary measure due to the pandemic.

However, the state just extended it five more years.  It declared that such proficiency tests are unfair to students of color.

So, rather than give these students the level of education needed to excel in the modern workplace, schools will now process them out with degrees and call it social progress.
