Public High Schools Are Introducing Race-Based Grading Systems

• https://greatmountainpublishing.com by Edward Hend

 Under the new race-based rubric, children will be treated and graded differently based on their race. For example, a Black student who misbehaves, misses class, or fails to turn in his assignment will be treated more leniently than a White or Asian student doing those same things. Below is an article from the National File explaining this new race-based grading system:

A Chicago High School is implementing a race-based grading criteria in order to "adjust classroom grading scales to "account for skin color or ethnicity of its students." A slide used in a presentation in which the new policy was announced claimed that "traditional grading practices perpetuate inequities."

Oak Park and River Forest High School administrators will require teachers to adjust their existing grading criteria based on the new guidelines West Cook News.

Depending on their race, students will not be disciplined or see their grades slip for missing class, misbehaving in school, or for failing to turn in assignments. Black students will be given the most leeway while their White and Asian counterparts will receive no such leniency.

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