Oregon Moms Union President MacKensey Pulliam told FOX News Digital that she is not surprised that the blue state suspended basic skills requirement to graduate high school.
An Oregon-based parental rights group said it was 'not surprising' that the Oregon State Board of Education decided to remove the requirement to show proof of mastery in reading, writing, and math through a standardized test in order to graduate from high school. 'It's not surprising that they've continued to push off the implementation of new graduation requirements,' Oregon Moms Union President MacKensey Pulliam told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
Students who failed to demonstrate proficiency in the essential skills were to make up for it in their senior year to graduate. Standardized tests will still be issued; however, the Board voted to remove the standardized test as a factor in determining whether students receive their diplomas. Also, students who fail to demonstrate proficiency in the essential skills will not be required to make up for it in their senior year.
think that we've seen a major decline in our kids' ability to read and write here in Oregon. And I think that's a problem that we're seeing across the country as well,' Pulliam said.
