This was done for the sake of "equality". Apparently, some minorities were having a difficult time staying in school because they would not put in the work to actually learn. So, the kids who cannot read, write, or do math, will now get the same grades as those who did the work. Our future is bright.
Oregon removes writing, reading, and math mastery from high school graduation requirements

The
Oregon State
Board of Education unanimously voted on Thursday to remove proof of mastery in reading, writing, and math in order to graduate from
high school until 2029.
The board argued that requiring all students to pass one of several standardized tests or to create an in-depth assignment their teacher judged as meeting state standards was a harmful hurdle for students of color, disabled students, or those learning English as a second language. The standardized tests will still be given but will not play a role in determining whether students receive their diplomas.
