This seems fucked up, but what is the point. If you can't read/ write or do math you are not getting in to college. I assume even if you are a transgender black non-binary paraplegic you are still required to read and write to get in to a good school. By removing incentives during highschool you are making the system worse, you will get less people in to higher education (not that this is a bad thing) but it is the exact opposite that they are trying to do.
It will also create a bigger gap between private and public schools. It also gives an advantage to stay at home moms that will make sure their children will know how to properly read, write and do math.
I do not care about Oregon but the sheer stupidity is what bugs me, virtue signaling at the cost of children future and I bet they feel so good about passing this crap.
What makes you think that this isn't going to be the next step. College admissions standards can be very problematic, you know, and can even reinforce racial stereotypes. Much, much better to do away with them and grant admission on an equitable basis.
Princeton University removed the Greek and Latin requirements from their classics degree program. Many other universities are removing those programs all together. At this point college is becoming nothing but an indoctrination program and new age trade school combo.
That's an insult to trade schools
Mention Horace or Ovid at most liberal universities and you will get a blank stare , even from literature students.
Yeah I mean some schools are already factoring people's zip codes as a method of assessing their "privilege'" so soon the mask will completely come off. Michigan had some sort of point system so black people could get into college. Reading and writing will mean absolutely zero soon.
Whole 10k word papers in ebonics
inB4 affluent white & asian families start moving to a poorer zipcode for the kid's senior year just so they can get the extra oppression points.

Ultimately all this does it seems is make it easier for actual high IQ people to be successful since they will be the only ones capable of getting any work done.

just wait until on leadership position of woke companies there is someone who cant read,write,or calculate ...but has strong opinions and muh feelings
Would it be worse then the current state? We already have people in leadership positions that have strong opinions and muh feelings but they know how to read / write.
Yeah I was going to say that's pretty much how it is now. With a few exceptions most corporations are run by their idiotic HR and marketing departments.
I think part of it is just sticking their heads in the sand. US public schools in general do terribly at actually teaching people to read or do math and no doubt for minorities it is even worse. If you just stop measuring you won't see how bad it is anymore.
On top of that it's gatekeeping, if public schools don't actually teach anything except ideology anymore, then the elites don't have to worry about pleb kids coming to compete with theirs.
You don't need to do any of those things to get a 100k salary as a diversity officer.
Well you got there at the end. emotional reasoning, yes, and sticking to an ideal that conflicts directly with the natural order.
You live in a society run by women. Women are emotional children. This is what you get when you let them vote.
It's "No Child Left Behind" all over again
So basically minorities are too dumb to read and do math.

Why bother having school at all since they probably teach nothing but shit now
Political indoctrination?
If we don't teach anyone anything, we'll all be equally stupid!
Finally, true equality!
I thought latinx was for those dumb mother fuckers that think they're a "they/them/otherkin/retard". Oh well, I don't really care to keep up with their delusions, so I'm not sure, and the 5 seconds to google it is also a waste of time.
Well the kids may not be able to comprehend the word "equity" but at least they'll have it.

This is a symptom, the real cause is letting schools and colleges get away with giving out more and more high quality grades, year on year, with no consequences. It's not their problem that the high grades have become devalued, it's the students' problem.
Couple this with loans being given out to anyone regardless of whether they're likely to be paid back (yay! government intervention) and a college doesn't need to worry about whether their applicants can do much - the college can simply give them a passing grade and take on hundreds of thousands of dollars to do so. And from a pure business sense, why wouldn't you?
To address the route cause, there needs to be some way of incentivising colleges to only give a select few top students the top grades, and to untangle the web of government intervention and bureaucracy which got us there. After that, things like this will start falling apart on their own.
The root cause of all of this is black IQ.
If a university is intended to create functional professional workers, then the cutoff point for "good grades" will always favor whites. Their scores are good enough to indicate proficiency, by which I mean you can safely hire them for almost any job, so their grades will always be considered "good" by the market.
If you switch to a harsher grading system, with "good grades" defined as only the very elite, you will separate the Asian (math and science) and Jewish (verbal) students. White students will be lower, and Hispanic and black students will be lower still. But the people trying to hire good workers will simply aim for whatever minimum proficiency enables reliable workers, and that bar will always coincide with white grades.
How do we know this? Look around the world. White nations are functional, prosperous, wealthy. Whatever minimum IQ threshold is necessary for productivity and stability, whites meet that threshold. Why wouldn't this pattern manifest on a more individual level with respect to employees?
The only way to obscure all of this and protect those protected classes is to destroy the very concept of objective standards. Of course, in a world where grades mean nothing, employers will actually return to using skin color as a proxy for IQ and competency. That's why places like California are skipping to the end and mandating literal quotas. Because equity is like communism; the only way to achieve it is by kneecapping everyone equally.
This is extremely detrimental to the long-term prosperity of black peoples. An objective standard would put positive evolutionary pressure on black peoples, gradually pulling their average IQ towards the other racial demos and eventually achieving something much closer to both equality and equity. But nope.
Breaking News! Oregon shot itself in the foot! You won't believe how many times!
Uneducated people are easier to control.

It isn't about 'equity.' People will never ever be equal. there are those who can bake a cake better and there are those who can play hockey better. It will never be equal. it's about lowering the standards for retards to be accepted.
