The Oregon Governor states this should help students of color graduate.

This obviously wasn't covered very well the first time, since people everywhere are commenting on this NOW.

It would not surprise me one bit if the MSM covered this poorly by design.

Fox News has more on the story:

In June, state lawmakers voted to approve the bill that suspended the requirements for students for three years, KATU reported. Foundations for a Better Oregon said in a statement at the time that the bill is intended to "truly reflect what every student needs to thrive in the 21st century." Supporters of the bill insist that considering math and reading essential skills has been an unfair challenge for students who do not test well. The report said the requirement was first suspended at the start of the pandemic.

Charles Boyle, the deputy communications director from Brown's office, told the paper in an email that staff from the governor's office informed legislative staffers about the bill's signing on the day it was passed. He also said that the new standards for graduation will help benefit the state's "Black, Latino, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color."

People everywhere are infuriated by this, calling the Oregon Governor "racist."

Make no mistake, it ABSOLUTELY is racist.
