This is textbook DEI and its pursuit of Equality of Outcome

Oregon just dropped all graduation standards, failing all of its students in the name of ‘equity’

Parents and teachers should hold the state accountable and recognize the harmful role played by Oregon’s largest teachers union.

Since Oregon abandoned its essential skill requirements for high schoolers, graduation rates have skyrocketed. With a graduation rate of 81.3 percent, Oregon’s class of 2022 set a record for the second highest four-year graduation rate ever recorded in the state. Unfortunately, this is not indicative of student skills. Only 43 percent of students in that year’s graduating class were proficient in English, and less than 31 percent were proficient in math.

How much of that was 10th and 11th grades spent "virtual learning"?

How much of what?

The record 81% graduation rate? I’d say none, that’s a function of removing practically any requirements.

The abysmal 43% and 31% Reading & Math scores? I’d say some, but that alone didn’t create it.

The scores is what I meant

Isn't Oregon only 2% AA? Not sure how this is "Equality" for a predominantly white population. Just sounds like eliminating standards due to bad decision to shut schools down for 2 yrs..

Even with all that, their test scores blow TN's ACT/SAT scores out of the water...

I don’t know the demographics. But the language indicates they were looking to push somebody through.

Board members, alongside Oregon Department of Education leadership, argued that requiring students to complete standardized tests both presented a “harmful hurdle for historically marginalized students” and represents a misuse of state tests.

“Standardized tests are inaccurate, inequitable, and don’t accurately measure student learning and growth,” it declares. Further, the union labels standardized tests like Oregon’s Statewide Summative Assessment as “instruments of racism and a biased system.”

Further, the union brags that SB 744 “passed with OEA member support in the 2021 session” due to “several equity concerns” surrounding Oregon’s essential skill requirements.

Black exclusion laws[edit source]​

In December 1844, Oregon passed its first black exclusion law, which prohibited African Americans from entering the territory while simultaneously prohibiting slavery. Slave owners who brought their slaves with them were given three years before they were forced to free them. Any African Americans in the region after the law was passed were forced to leave, and those who did not comply were arrested and beaten. They received no less than twenty and no more than thirty-nine stripes across the back if they still did not leave. This process could be repeated every six months.[47]

My point may be they might be using liberal DEI buzzwords to justify lowering the standards more than actually doing anything re: equity

The I5 Corridor in Oregon is just CA North politically

2.3% AA btw

Plagiarism is supposed to be the ultimate sin in the academic world and especially in these "elite" universities. The news has brought multiple instances where this was overlooked causing the view that these individuals were potentially placed in these positions not on the basis on their qualifications but by demographic criteria.

Right. How he got the job is a problem. How does that lead to the conclusion that diversity itself is bad?

I think it's a bit like the phrase "money is the root of all evil" when that's not exactly what was originally stated. The actual (Biblical) verse comes out as "For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil".

The pursuit of diversity for the sake of diversity is fraught with problems as is "equity" as opposed to equality. I think what makes this stand out is there is a large and top down push for exactly those things. (equity and diversity for the sake of diversity)

And that leads to what's happening now- dumbasses that give the best head (Kamala), plagiarists, criminals, and other unqualified doofuses getting positions of power on skin color and "diversity" alone.

Real diversity has nothing to do with skin color, but ideas and thoughts and experiences.

And in fact, I'd argue that the least diverse countries on earth are the ones where the elements of socialism that leftoids love thrive, and where I will agree that the societies are generally clean, safe, and successful. If you want "free" school, healthcare, transport, etc., push for less diversity.

Diversity of thought is great to make companies and organization better. What do you think the issue/opportunity that diversity is solving for today?

(d)iversity is great. We seek it out for good reason. In asset portfolios, women, food, all manners of life.

(D)iversity is a bastardization. It’s a corporate photo masquerading as something deeper and more meaningful.

It is true that an actual diversity of thought, ideas, and experiences can lead to greater product development and service. But you likely won’t achieve that by simply making the front page color cover of DEI Weekly.

It's also good to a limit. Too many differing ideas leads to paralysis by analysis. That's why the old pizza rule came into effect at some orgs.

We’re allowed to have diversity in our women? I can’t wait to tell the wife!
