I find the female one is more rage inducing. 🤦‍♀️

In other words...the non-whites are fucking stupid/lazy and we need to pass them somehow.

no that's racist, it's just that they are not as academically gifted as their non-BIPOC peers, and not motivated by external factors to complete their work. It would be unfair to penalize them for their natural state!

So true. I apologize to any murder monkeys I may have offended with my previous post.

There are wider implications. A student's educational achievements were supposed to represent their worthyness for trusted positions in the workplace and society as a whole when they are adult. So what happens when you have all these people who enter the workplace with credentials that represent educational standards they never even met because they were given "the race pass".

I'll tell you what happens, your doctor will talk to you like this in 500 years.

"Right, kick ass. Well, don't want to sound like a dick or nothin', but, ah... it says on your chart that you're fucked up. Ah, you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded. What I'd do, is just like... like... you know, like, you know what I mean, like..."

"Don't worry, scrote. There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick-ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. She's a pilot now."

They can no longer be docked for missing class, misbehaving in school or failing to turn in their assignments, according to the plan.
By training teachers to remove the non-academic factors from their grading practices

I can see the argument for exempting behavioral issues from grading criteria. I'm not sure I agree with it, but I can see it. And as for demographic impact that would actually help boys more than anyone else. But how is homework a "non-academic factor"?

38 percent of OPRF sophomore students taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) failed.

I didn't actually know you could fail the SAT. Is that a new thing? More to the point, though, how are any of these new policies going to raise SAT scores?

Also, it looks like this school is in Illinois, not California.
