Has suspending Oregon graduation testing requirements contributed to rising grad rates? In an interview for the linked article, the idiot that sponsored the bill that created this situation doesn’t think so, but then again, he’s a Democridiot. How could reducing the skill level required to obtain a diploma possibly NOT inflate the state’s graduation rate? It’s common sense. Next thing you know, Democrats in Salem will lower the bar so much that sixth graders could graduate from high school. If you don’t have to demonstrate your ability to read, write or know that 2 + 2 = 4, ANYBODY can graduate. This whole thing was a ploy by Democrats to boost the graduation rates of minorities (including illegal aliens) in this state. The sad thing is, they couldn’t see farther than the nose on their face because, in the long run, all it does is hamstring the young person with an Oregon high school diploma when competing for college.
