What To Know: Oregon is lowering its expectations for students—eliminating requirements that they learn to read, write and do math.

The TPPF Take: Oregon is failing its students and their families.

“Woke society continues to take aim at the nation’s education systems, insisting that minority students are simply incapable of meeting the academic standards that other students are expected to reach,” says TPPF’s Selene Rodriguez. “While lowering education standards or inflating grades might mask the problem, educators ultimately set up their students for failure and impede their ability to be a functioning member of society.”
