One goal of wokeism is to stupify and occupy your children,
ignorance is less likely to put up a successful resistance and
freedom campaign against a massively sophisticated and
predictive Global 1984 AI State. Therefore,
all slaves shall get A's, and all independents with brains
will get drafted into the apparatus, or Flunked and canceled out.


"The New Normal": New York To Lower Math And English Proficiency
Standards Due To Poor Test Result

Authored by Jonathan Turley,

I recently wrote how public educators and unions were methodically
killing public education. The best example this week comes from New
York where a school board committee has solved the dismal math and
reading scores for children in the system . . .  they lowered the
standards. This is not the first system to gut its standards rather
than improve its quality of education.

As teachers and unions object to school choice, they continue to make
the case for private education.

Parents are increasingly voting with their feet.

The board is simply calling the lack of proficiency “the new normal”
and changing the standards. Done.

New York will permanently lower the math and reading proficiency
standards after embarrassing results in state testing. It is akin to
shortening the 100 yards dash to 50 yards to stay competitive on
speed.

The media reported that

    “A scoring committee that reports to the Board of Regents said
Monday that they must take into account the results of last year’s
tests for students in grades three through eight. Some schools posted
shocking results — in Schenectady, no eighth grader who took the math
test scored as proficient. And the scores for the third through eighth
grade tests throughout the state were much lower in 2022 than in 2019,
a result no doubt of the absence of in-person learning during the
first year and beyond of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

This may seem insane to anyone with a proficiency in logic, but it is
being shrugged off by many in New York. There is now an acceptance
that the public schools cannot actually educate students to
proficiency levels needed to succeed in the modern world. In the
meantime, some districts are moving to a four-day work week for
teachers to reduce stress.

We previously discussed the elimination of gifted and talented
programs to achieve equity by artificially lowering everyone to the
same level.

Other schools have eliminated the “F” to guarantee 100 percent passage rates.

Still others have suspended proficiency standards to simply graduate
students who cannot reach required levels in writing, math, and
English.

There is also a move to end standardized testing.

In a prior column, I was particularly moved by the frustration of a
mother in Baltimore recently who complained that her son was in the
top half of his class despite failing all but three of his classes.
Graduating students without proficiency in English or Math is the
worst possible path for these students, schools and society.

It is the dumbing down of America but administrators, boards, and
unions insist that it is better for these students, who face dismal
prospects for future employment. In the meantime, we are pouring
billions into schools that cannot produce a single proficient student
in basic subjects. If this were a business, there would be criminal
fraud charges across the nation.
