In response to years of declining math and reading skills among America’s youth, New York will no longer require high schoolers to pass statewide Regents exams to graduate starting in 2028.
This is just the latest in NY’s crusade against educational standards instead of doing something about the lousy teachers’ union protecting lousy teachers.
In 2017, NY eliminated a teacher literacy test after Black and Hispanic candidates underperformed whites, and in 2024, it lowered the proficiency threshold for elementary and middle school assessments.

“You don’t assess a fish on climbing a tree because fish can’t climb trees,” said Regents member Felicia Thomas-Williams.
In other words, black students, who score the lowest, are innately incapable of performing. I dare them to prove it
This is a Regent, and she’s an idiot.
Felicia Thomas-Williams who is a NYC regent says asking a high school student if they can read, write or do math on a basic level is like assessing a fish climbing a tree because why bother.
Disgraceful person and harmful to the Black Community especially. https://t.co/Ma7HDlalhz

Weingarten demands that Kathy Hochul not allow choice in schools or accept President Trump’s “Freedom” scholarships.
Take a look at Randi Weingarten freaking out about New York Governor Kathy Hochul opting into President Trump’s school choice program.
Hochul reiterated that New York will still opt in.
The teachers unions are flailing.

This is their leader in action:
I can’t believe Randi Weingarten’s union just posted this video of her.
Are they trying to make her look crazy? pic.twitter.com/2PyGMvnd5Z

Then the youth get to college and get this:

Told you, racist:

This is a chief historian. She must have learned from Mao.

Then they want the worst educated to be your doctor.
Based on the most recent @AAMCToday data for 2024-2025, there are statistically significant differences between the average MCAT scores and GPAs for Asians and Whites vs. Black medical school matriculants (p=.0001).

The lousy education in some districts is not a myth.
Some Ivy League stats:
1. Undergraduate enrollment at the 8 Ivy League schools is 61,100.
2. Black enrollment at the Ivies is 7% or 4,277.
3. Average SAT scores at the Ivies is in the 1500s = 98th percentile or higher.
4. Average SAT score for Blacks = 907 or 23rd percentile.
5. Percent of Black students scoring 1400-1600 (94th percentile and above) on the SAT = 1% or 2,289 total Black students. That’s the only point range the College Board reports. If it reported 1500-1600 points, there might be only 1,000 Black students scoring high enough to qualify academically for an Ivy League school.
Conclusion: The only way the Ivies can have 7% Black enrollment is by lowering academic standards for Black applicants. There just isn’t a large enough pool/supply of Black students scoring 1500+ on the SAT to satisfy the Ivies’ demand for Black enrollees.
It’s not only Black children being cheated. Men are, in general. At the University of Michigan, they only want women.
