New York schools just got the results of pushing critical race theory and gender affirmation for years: Utter educational failure.

Some schools were just shockingly bad, like the Schenectady District: Only 12% of their students in grades 3-8 passed the state's standardized test. Among black students, that number dropped to 4%. In 8th grade, no students passed.

English scores were so bad that students who were second-language learners and those classified as homeless got some of the better scores!

Rather than take the simple solution and go back to teaching subjects the way they did when test scores were higher, the New York Board of Regents has come up with a better, more Marxist plan: Lower expectations.

That's right. New York has made the lowest test scores in their history the new benchmark for proficiency.

Technical Advisory Committee Co-Chair Marianne Perie said,

Yes, there's learning loss between 2019 and 2022, but in some ways we don't want to keep going backwards. We're at this new normal. So for New York we are saying the new baseline is 2022.

The new normal for New York education is an 8th grader that is incapable of reading a middle-school book like Lord of the Flies or understanding pre-algebra.

Imagine what these people are going to be like as adults.

Heaven help any business hiring someone that graduated out of the New York education system.

New York parents: If the racism, the groomers, and the drag queens haven't convinced you to get your kids out of the public schools yet, maybe the schools dropping any pretense of educating your children will.
