The Tyranny of low expectations: Oregon Edition
Oregon has suspended graduation requirements for math, reading and writing proficiency due to “discrimination against minority students.”

The suspension of these graduation requirements will last through the 2027-2028 school year.
Board Chair Guadalupe Martinez Zapata likened “rhetoric about cultural and social norms being the underlying reason for underperformance on assessments by systemically marginalized students” to “racial superiority arguments.”
