California Students Too Stupid

Whaaa whaaa whaaa! California high school students are such babies. I stand by my statement that California is the worst state in the Union.

The California High School Exit Exam is a test given to all high school students as a requirement for graduation; they must pass it to be given a diploma. But now a judge in Oakland California earlier this week found that the exam is "unconstitutional" citing that it discriminates against the poor and non-English speaking student. This ruling will blocks the state from its plan to deny diplomas to the students that didn't pass the exam.

Ok, lets get something straight, if you go to public school, then you are expected to learn! The taxpayer's money is going towards your education. And if you cannot prove after 12 years of this education that you didn't learn anything then you are a waste of money and space in this nation. In a better school system the student's grades should speak for itself. If A's meant anything then there would be no need for this exam. But the degrading education system in California has forced the state to prove that the taxpayer's money isn't going to waste. How dare these students and parents sue because they can't pass the exam. It's "discriminating" Oh boo hoo hoo! Since our Constitution is written in English and our money is printed in English shouldn't our students be taught in English? Hey Paco, if your son can't read or speak English that's not our fault! "But we're too poor to get an edimikation." The state is providing a FREE education, that's the point! It doesn't take money to read out of a state provided book or write with a state provided pencil! Unless you're severely disabled or the teacher isn't doing their job there is no excuse for any California high school student not to pass this test. I asked someone who took the test, my little brother how hard the test was since he had to take it. He said it was the easiest of all the state tests he ever took. Now given my brother does speak English, comes from a middle-class family and who's father would come down on him if he didn't pass his classes. Even with all those obstacles he still found the exam easy enough to pass. So why can't other students pass it?

I just get mad at stupid things like this. You know what the only lesson here learned is?  What has been taught to our youth here is that if something is too hard to do then just sue until the standards are dropped to an unacceptable level and you feel better about yourself. It's horrible.
