Brown wasn’t interested in commenting on signing the bill to make educated people in the Marxism capital of the country less educated.

She did, however, have an aide attempt to justify the move.

Charles Boyle, Brown’s communications director, said in a statement emailed to the Oregonian that dropping requirements that prove people should be able to graduate will help the state’s “Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color.”

“Leaders from those communities have advocated time and again for equitable graduation standards, along with expanded learning opportunities and support,” he said.

Boyle didn’t explain how not knowing how to read will serve minority kids as they become adults ready to navigate life.

This, of course, raises an important question: Why even have schools to begin with? Why not just give every person a college degree at birth?

We know that a great many schools across the country only encourage graduation so they can justify their annual budgets. But in most cases, the students leaving those schools with diplomas are capable of at least understanding basic communication and hopefully are able to handle their basic finances.

We can’t be sure in the years to come that young people from Oregon will even be able to read. We’ll be left to assume that left-wing teachers simply shoved critical race theory down their throats until they aged out of high school, until these young people prove otherwise.

This law essentially nullifies the hard work of students who will work to earn their diplomas.

It serves no cause, other than making the state’s population dumber — and maybe that’s the point.

Oregon is already arguably the national epicenter for the uneducated, the aggrieved and the politically radical. It’s difficult to imagine a scenario in which this doesn’t strengthen the numbers of those who just spent a year attempting to torch downtown Portland.

Could lawmakers have done anything more blatant to assist these people in feeling more self-righteous while they attempt to bring down society?
