About this episode

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek’s office kept the suspension of the basic reading, writing, and math bar for a high school diploma. The rant walks through the official rationale, the racial-gap spreadsheet that made proficiency politically inconvenient, and what a participation-trophy credential actually buys once remediation disappears. Basketball degrees, pilot licenses, and Pleasure Island included. #Oregon #TinaKotek #Education #HighSchool #Diplomas #Equity #Reading #Math #Standards #SchoolChoice #Parents
