The actual racists, sooner or later, tell you who they are

School board members discussed the plan called “Transformative Education Professional Development & Grading” at a meeting on May 26, presented by Assistant Superintendent for Student Learning Laurie Fiorenza.

In an effort to equalize test scores among racial groups, OPRF will order its teachers to exclude from their grading assessments variables it says disproportionally hurt the grades of black students. They can no longer be docked for missing class, misbehaving in school or failing to turn in their assignments, according to the plan.

“Traditional grading practices perpetuate inequities and intensify the opportunity gap,” reads a slide in the PowerPoint deck outlining its rationale and goals.

Translation: "We cannot expect these Children of Colour to meet those old standards, and expecting them to is racist, so we'll adjust grading so they pass anyway."

No concern at all for the way they're screwing these kids, probably for the rest of their lives, oh no, just their "This will get the scores up so we don't look like such incompetents."

Racist assholes, every one.
