These new skill-free citizens add to the voter base of the socialist-democrat state, of all colors. This is by design. They will immediately begin collecting federal (printed) dollars for food and rental assistance. They will get free healthcare (medicaid). This ensures reliable socialist-democrat support at election time to keep these benefit lifelines in place.

The policy also starves private enterprise of 'talented' employees. This is also by design. As private companies dwindle away, state and local taxes, regulations, and licenses fees go up for those that remain, further pressuring companies to close. More (printed) federal money then flows from DC to fill the state’s revenue gap.

Elimination of productive, independent, hardworking people ensures that the state will have an integral part in the lives of the remaining population... The ones that make it..

This is called ‘the soft bigotry of low expectations‘. Oregon Governor Kate Brown has cancelled the proficiency standards for reading, writing and math from High School graduation requirements.

The governors office says “suspending the reading, writing and math proficiency requirements … will benefit “Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.”

In essence, the students of color are not smart enough to learn reading, writing or math – so they shouldn’t be expected to read, write or understand mathematics.

Kate Brown looks, sounds and acts like a typical left-wing moonbat. It’s hard to imagine a state governor saying the minority students in the state are not smart enough to pass proficiency standards; thereby signaling her extreme racist perspectives- and gaining cheers from her leftist tribe; yet here we are.

OREGON – […] Through a spokesperson, the governor declined again Friday to comment on the law and why she supported suspending the proficiency requirements.

Brown’s decision was not public until recently, because her office did not hold a signing ceremony or issue a press release and the fact that the governor signed the bill was not entered into the legislative database until July 29, a departure from the normal practice of updating the public database the same day a bill is signed.

The Oregonian/OregonLive asked the governor’s office when Brown’s staff notified the Legislature that she had signed the bill. Charles Boyle, the governor’s deputy communications director, said the governor’s staff notified legislative staff the same day the governor signed the bill.
