The high school diploma was presented to the beaming graduate, resplendent in their cap and gown

Ready to take on the world with this certificate little realizing the hoax after Oregon decided to dumb down

It seems the twelve years of study in the Oregon curriculum had amounted to being able to compete against those in other states who had finished Junior High

The stark realization will hit when on the job hunt, signs will metaphorically say Oregon students need not apply

In its infinite wisdom the State of Oregon decreed that high school students need not prove basic mastery of reading, writing or math to graduate from high school

The fact this is supposed to help marginalized students and those of color is down right cruel

“Here kid, here’s your certificate to a better life. Have someone read to you what it says”

In reality Oregon didn’t realize that by handicapping their own students with this idiotic decree, they actually helped the Prez

President Biden is looking for a way to cancel student debt. No further debt will be acquired by Oregon students as no accredited college will accept functional illiterates

Maybe a few will need loans if a for-profit college accepts them to attend class through one of their on-line affililates

A future of manual labor or rudimentary entry level jobs is all this diploma guarantees

Even the military expects a person to read and write before joining the rest of the inductees

For the most part, the new graduate will struggle with the everyday job application

Their resume will be sparse, their references will be in order but not helpful as the applicant won’t be able to perform written tasks or a simple calculation

Perhaps Oregon has a sinister goal of bringing in out-of-state people to fill vacant jobs

Because in a few years the State will need new unemployed bodies to replace those who have wised up and left the everyday protest mobs
