Oooookay...

So a complete failure for Oregon's public education system. Failing grade.

The purpose of education is not to graduate students, Oregon politicians... It's actually to educate them! What a concept, right?

Oregon here officially declares that uneducated students will be declared "educated".

Wow.

alabama has been doing this forever. i know several people who have graduated who can barely read and write at a 3rd grade level. its not just a stereotype.
