Blue state suspends basic skills graduation requirement again, citing harm to students of color
High schoolers in Oregon won't need to demonstrate basic competency in reading, writing or math in order to graduate for at least five more years because, according to education officials, such requirements are unnecessary and disproportionately harm students of color.
"At some point … our diploma is going to end up looking a lot more like a participation prize than an actual certificate that shows that someone actually is prepared to go pursue their best future," former Oregon gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazan told Fox News.

Students of color have lower IQs on average whether they are given a piece of paper or not. Better to start the majority of them on low level vocational training instead of academic coursework.
