However, there is good news! To make racial equity Governor Kate Brown of Oregon and Mayor DeBlasio of New York hit upon solutions. Governor Kate just signed in Oregon a sweeping reform of their educational system to include the following in the name of equity: NO PROFICIENCY OR COMPETENCY required to graduate high school! Yes, folks, the Oregon Education Department has solved the lack of achievement by racial differences, use illiteracy to eliminate illiteracy – who knew?

Mayor DeBlasio’s scheme, not as wide spread but equally as lethal- I mean effective, he simply said, no more gifted and talented programs. He wants all children in the same classroom regardless of ability or achievement level- BRILLIANT!

So you see the silver lining for equity is that there will be no need for special education, no need for remedial anything and no need for children to be truant. Just show up, allow the teacher to teach the difference between a riot and an insurrection or speak about the dogs the teacher is training all is good. Hell, who knew that the teacher unions were correct, teachers should not be held accountable based on student performance, simply make it legal for all students to stay illiterate and voila teachers are off the hook! – BRILLANT!
