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.
Mention Horace or Ovid at most liberal universities and you will get a blank stare , even from literature students.
