A school district in Minnesota has now announced that it will no longer be giving students ‘F’s’ in the name of fighting racism in the classroom.
As The Daily Wire reports:
Sunrise Park Middle School in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, is the latest school to change its grading system in the name of combating “systemic racism.”
In a YouTube video, the middle school announced that it would eliminate the “F” grade.
“Our whole intent is to ensure that grades focus on the process of learning,” Principal Christina Pierre said in the video, according to Fox News. “Therefore, grades will not include behaviors, attitude, tardiness to class, whether the assignment was turned in late or on time. There’s other ways that we can communicate those things to parents.”
Associate Principal Norman Bell added that students would be encouraged to retake tests and quizzes and to revise papers and projects within 10 days of grades getting posted.
The new policy was reportedly enacted after a ‘equity audit’ found disparities between racial groups at the school.
Utterly bizarre and misguided.
The World is a competitive place, in case Ms Pierre hadn’t noticed.
If an American can’t or won’t do what is required to study, or later, feed their family, a Chinese or South Korean, or Malaysian, or Indian will.
The new rule is racist. The left wants to keep minorities undereducated.
Damn I wish they gave everybody A’s of course it won’t take an employer long to find out if you deserved it
Employers will find out soon enough; however, our half-witted politicians elected by our half-witted citizens (and everyone else who gets to vote in American elections) will write laws making it very difficult to fire under-performing employees–much like the Federal civil service today. So, in the long run every U.S. business will suffer while trying to compete against foreign businesses, the trade imbalance will worsen, the economy will suffer terribly, and companies that disproportionately hire Asian-American students from other than Oregon, Washington, and Minnesota (the three states currently with no high school graduation standards) will be sued for being “racist” companies. Because of legal costs, ultimately, the smart employers will hire snowflakes from OR, WA, and MN; pay them to sit in the company cafeteria all day so they can’t screw-up the business; raise their prices to pay for the dead weight employees sitting in the cafeteria; become less competitive in the world market; and eventually go out of business–just to satisfy the Equal Employment Opportunity standards our worthless politicians have encumbered us with. Americans are pathetic at cause-and-effect thinking, and American politicians are either the worst at it or the most self-serving. Believe me, lawyers and the teachers unions love Minnesota’s latest decision.
This is why we HAVE to re-elect Trump or DeSantis in the next Presidential election! They’ll have enough sense to stop this before it reaches that level!!
This is a reallllllly good example of dumbingdownamerica.
No, so far just Minnesota.
There is no better career builder than a good ol’ PC education.
If they are concerned about the students who are not passing, why not put the money into tutors to help them learn and pass what needs to be learned?
Is it just me, or did they just say only black kids get Fs???? No??? Ok!!!
Would that not in itself be a racist policy then???? No???? I didnt think so.
Imagine, in 20 years or so, we’ll have people running this country who won’t know our history, can’t read or write or even think critically. I’m glad I’m old enough I won’t see it. This is truly a recipe for disaster.
Not if we make sure to re-elect Trump or DeSantis in the next Presidential election.
It seems our “leaders” today are not interested in excellence but feel threatened by those who might excel. Also, maybe the leaders don’t know how to teach.
What a country, when the kids grow up they all get unemployment money!!!
Just how stupid can these democrats go?
i know they want to destroy America but dont they t
Realize that democrats mandate s don’t apply to the elite ones!
Just like that bunny in the battery ad, liberals keep going and going and going. They’re a machine for creating dystopia, advancing hedonism, socialism and expanding government authority. One thing which those morons don’t understand: They’ll be the ones who are rounded up for ‘reeducation’ once that government they so carefully cultivated has attained the level of tyranny.
I hope they don’t become surgeons. There are no re-takes for failed surgeries.
It would be like Grey’s Anatomy!
there you go…can we give you idiots an F for you management of school. My dog at my paper, I will turn it in next year. I hope all of these idiots cross a bridge designed and made by all of these students that didn’t get F’s. I want to watch the video of them falling, but hey bet you said you can’t die either so you all will be ok… you “really” can’t fix stupid…
There are plenty of minorities who can easily “make the grade”. Isn’t it insulting that the “left” thinks that it’s necessary for them to dumb down curricula for minorities? Effectively saying that as a race, black and Hispanic people can’t compete at the same level as the white or Asian populations?! How ridiculous. It’s just more of the CRT nonsense that is engineered to control and to hold back minorities (disguised as compassion)… just as the left/democrats have always done. Wake up America!
Teachers, this administration has you all so very freaked out that you will do anything even get vax not knowing the results of what it could do to you. I feel for the children that you teachers are afraid of giving them bad grades .You could let your administrators know that the children need help. SHAME ON YOU.
