Basically, Oregon has passed a law and said that things have reached a level....that we don't want to burden stupid kids....so ease up on reading, writing and math in high school.
What'll happen? I would suggest one of three things.
First, you will start to notice in three years that those graduates of high school in Oregon....arrive at college, and can't meet the general entry requirements. So the colleges will rig up a semester (maybe two) of fake college....basically charging you $2,000 minimum to take 'real' high school math, and English classes (instead of college-level classes).
Yeah buddy.....what you didn't learn in high school.....you will waste six to twelve months in college (call it the '5th' year).
Second, about ten years into this era.....people start to remark that young folks can marginally read at the 6th-grade level....at age 25. Nationally, folks start to point out what seems to be a low-IQ status of Oregon residents. Some term will be created....'he seems oregonish' will be uttered (meaning not too bright).
Third and final.....blacks only make up around 12-percent of the demographics. If you throw the map up....the majority (say near 75-percent) live around Portland, Bend and Eugene. If you head to the eastern half of the state....I doubt if they make up more than 3-percent of the population. Maybe they injected 'people of color' to mean Hispanic folks....but I doubt if they want to be included in this group.
More or less, this is just going to drive the wedge to split half of the Oregon off to Idaho at a faster pace.

Start by getting rid of the Teachers Unions. Start testing the teachers.
Well....if you did legit-testing, and 40-percent of the younger teacher crowd (age 30 and under) failed....then what? You'd probably give them a year to improve or then release them.
So where would you recruit the new teachers, and would they fail the test as well? Then what would you do with say...40,000 unemployed incompetent teachers, who have $70k of education loan debt?
This mess can be dissolved or fixed.
We operate a small organic teaching farm near the outskirts of Eugene, Oregon.

As nice folks with little malice, if we see somebody goofing off, we quickly get them back on-track with our worst insult:
* "So... what part of California you from?"
The humiliation, the shame, instantly turns them from half-wit imbecile --drooling optional -- morons into Outstanding Citizens and Contributing Members Of The Community.
