With the impacts of the pandemic and remote learning, as well as other issues, a review of whether they are fair and good for all is warranted.

As long as there is an asterisk on the diploma and permanent record, sure.

Testing is a key tool to make sure graduates have basic skills down, and shouldn't be paused for revision!

Dumbing down of our youth.

Dianne Price

Now kids are going to graduate, even if they're failing their classes?? Should NEVER HAPPEN!!

Michael Miller

I think the requirements for passing classes remains in effect. It's just the state tests that are suspended. I don't agree with that.

Michael Ratcliff

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!? NO!! NO!! You are making our next generation functionally illiterate. When it comes to knowing what this generation needs to sign, (such as contracts, loans etc.) they will have no clue what they are signing because they can't read, write, do math. be in debt fast! NO!!!

Pamela Joe

Kids are not even going to try now nor will the teachers

Robert Northrup

This reflects the failure of Oregon's education system. Is it more focused toward social issues than reading, writing and arithmetic?

Michael Ratcliff

OF COURSE IT IS. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR KIDS ANYMORE. IT IS ALL ABOUT STAYING IN CONTROL OF EVERYONE. THE LESS A PERSON KNOWS, THE EASIER TO CONTROL.

John Philo

Why are we neglecting our students and dumbing down education? Oregon has become a backward state. Appalachia west. Sad!

Brad Livsey

HAHAHAHAHA.............F--K NO!!!!!!!!!

Christena

Hold the bar, they'll reach it.

Kimra Tollefson

Instead of addressing our continuously poor scores, the Governor just threw them out. That isn't helping our students. Their diplomas will be virtually useless now. They don't mean anything.

k san

No. Lynn Owen is right. It is dumbing down our kids.

Kimmy Wasatch

Another ridiculous idea from the Democratic control over OR. How are our kids going to be responsible,, working adults if they are not able to function in the real world. KIds need basic education, reading , writing and math NOT social programs. I hope the school districts will implement testing.

Kenneth Emmrich

Absolutely not. What will that accomplish other than dumbing down America? It will tend to make diplomas suspect and ultimately worthless.

Latterdaysaint

Dumbing down education, not a good idea!

The Oregon government and local police force has done a HORRIBLE job at keeping crime down, protecting cities, citizens and federal agents. If they can't do their job, TRUMP WILL.

Mike OConnor

Oh yeah, Trump did a great protecting when he incited the riot at the Capital on January 6th. Then had the unmitigated gall to pardon his MAGA idots for their crimes. What a guy...

Trump's a big man-baby... needs to get his own house in order before sticking his nose in our business...and what's -her -name is just a mouthpiece...no original thought on anything...

ARE YOU KIDDING WITH THIS QUESTION?? Everyone knows his characterization of what is happening in Portland is complete fiction!!!

Mike OConnor

I usually spend a number of days each month in the Portland area, including downtown. Having worked in downtown Portland for many years, yes it's not what it once was. Having said that, it's definitely not a "war zone" and nothing like Trump and his minions would like you to think.

Richard Martinson

A bunch of crap from the Trump administration that hopes to incite a violent response that justifies the use of violence and military action. Illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional. Get them out!

Jim McAllister

Because the exaggeration of conditions in Portland, LA, memphis and Chicago is nowhere near the actual events. He and his henchpeople including traitor dereamer are only creating a reason to occupy american cities and attack the democrats.

Lexus Maximus

It’s a very small minority that’s causing a problem and for the most part, the marches are peaceful and none-combative. Portland’s problems, generally speaking; are the homeless sleeping on the streets and trashing the area, and not people marching in the streets.
