Keeping Oregon Accountable audit finds $6.4 billion in 'unintentional' accounting errors
At least it's not a huge amount of money involved
. My main question is more with the presentation. When the government goes out of its way to say something is unintentional, what does that mean?

It means, they are the inept clowns we knew they were.Keeping Oregon Accountable audit finds $6.4 billion in 'unintentional' accounting errors

As we all know, accounting is a double entry system meaning debits and credits must be equal. But, then, because they must be equal, it must be racist.

A bill to prohibit Oregon schools from requiring students to show they can read, write and do math at a basic high school level is headed to Gov. Kate Brown after lawmakers gave final approval Wednesday.
The idea is to hit pause on the requirements, in place since 2009 but already suspended during the pandemic, at least until the class of 2024 gets their diplomas and for Oregon to thoughtfully reexamine its graduation requirements in the meantime. A report recommending what the new standards should be is due to the Legislature and Oregon Board of Education by September 2022.
But since Oregon has long insisted it would not impose new graduation requirements on students who have already begun high school, new requirements would not take effect until the class of 2027 at the very earliest. So at least five more classes could be expected to graduate without needing to demonstrate roughly 10th grade level proficiency in math and writing.
The decision to remove the skills requirement was largely but not entirely a party-line one, with Democrats staunchly opposing the proficiency rules and Republicans decrying what they see as a lowering of academic standards.
A spokesperson for Brown told The Oregonian/OregonLive Wednesday she has yet to decide whether she will sign the bill, veto it or allow it to become law without her signature.
Oregon, unlike other states, did not require students to pass a particular standardized test or any test at all. Students could show their ability to use English and do math via about five different tests or by completing an in-depth classroom project judged by their own teachers. In reality, most schools relied primarily on standardized tests and most students easily passed them.
But demonstrating proficiency proved most challenging for students who learned English as a second language, students with disabilities and students of color.
Officials on the Oregon Board of Education, when they enacted the “essential skills” graduation requirement more than a decade ago, said they hoped no student would be denied a diploma for lacking the skills but that schools would step up and help juniors and seniors who hadn’t mastered enough English or math to do so. Many high schools created special math and writing workshop classes for seniors who needed to demonstrate those skills to get their diplomas.
The bill calls on the diverse committee studying graduation requirements to come up with a recommendation “with the goal of ensuring that the processes and outcomes related to the requirements for high school diplomas are equitable, accessible and inclusive.”

The damage being done here, by idiots like this, will echo for years and years.
Another washed up, one-hit wonder celeb using their "platform"
How much would you bet she doesn't have a @#$% clue what the stars, the red stripes, the white stripes and their numbers even represent......all she knows is she needs to come up with a way to get back in the public eye since she can't sing worth a shit anymore.

If the parents of these children allow this to continue or allow their children to be exposed to this then they don't have a leg to stand on and are partially to blame. for this insanity, IMO.
Yank your kids out of public school NOW and find a way to teach them at home, or enroll them in a fully vetted private or Christian school or co-op. The expense and investment in your time and/or money for your children's future is priceless and you will be rewarded a hundredfold.
Oregon is going so far off the rails maybe it needs its own thread....
TriMet unveils Pride bus, celebrating figures in Oregon's LGBTQ+ community
TriMet is the Portland area public transit agency, funded by tax money. There must be at least a few people who will be offended by this. What ever happened to not offending people?

It amazes me how over 95% of the people seem so hell bent on catering to less than 5% of the people that seem confused about genetics. The percentages may be little off, but I think it's pretty close to reality. They are certainly free to "celebrate" their non-scientific proclivities in any manner they wish just as I am free to not give a crap about those same proclivities.
Just wait until this woke culture generation experiences life for another 10-20 years and then their beliefs are on the wrong side of the then proclivities....and they get a taste of their own medicine...ask Chrissy Teigen how it feels
LOL for sure!
They and Washington state are trying to out do Cali for the title of most F’d up.
We really should cut a deal with Mexico to buy the whole left coast while values are still high.
