Coming Soon To You ?

On the same day I saw the following two stories from two different states. Each seems to underscore what I have asked many times before … “why do liberals do things which will inevitably hurt the poor and less educated the most?”

Each of these true stories can only hurt those who need an education the most, namely those on the lower rungs of the socioeconomic ladder. The basic gist here in both of these is … instead of holding steady or actually toughening standards in education, liberals want to make it easier for students to pass, even though they may actually know less. That way, you see, when these students get out into the real world, they will inevitably fail. To me the question has always been: Are they purposefully making it impossible for those who are getting screwed over by these liberal policies to ever succeed?

First off:

From Nevada’s Clark County School District (CCSD) which recently announced it would be lowering its standards, no longer penalizing tardiness, and offering a minimum score of 50% even for work the district would previously have scored lower. 

“The lowest grade is 50%. Grades won’t be influenced by attendance, participation, & late assignments. CCSD says this creates equity,” which is the quality of being fair and impartial. Fair to whom? If someone doesn’t go to class or chronically shows up late, and CCSD gives that individual a passing grade, who benefits … certainly not the student who doesn’t learn anything. Let’s be honest here. By CCSD lowering its standards for the poor, the black, and the brown students because CCSD doesn’t think that these students have what it takes to meet minimal standards is overly racist … in fact it is RACIST in capital letters!

Next let’s move on to Oregon. From the Washington Examiner:

“Oregon Gov. Kate Brown privately signed a bill last month ending the requirement for high school students to prove proficiency in reading, writing, and arithmetic before graduation.

Backers argued the existing proficiency levels for math and reading presented an unfair challenge for students who do not test well, and Boyle, a spokesman for the governor, said the new standards for graduation would aid Oregon’s “Black, Latino, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.”

Well the best I can say here is that even though it appears that Governor Brown did not want anyone to hear about her signing this into law, at least her spokesman, Charles Boyle, was honest when he insulted people of color with a wide brush in a truly racist put down. So in Oregon, all of these different groups will graduate without being proficient in math and reading, apparently because they just can’t do it. Another obvious RACIST statement? Hmmm! 

Again this softening of standards benefits whom? What kind of future can these individuals look forward to if they cannot read or write proficiently?

Two states with a liberal racist policy to lower education standards only portends more of this sort of liberal nonsense, perhaps coming soon to a  state near you.
