Gavin Newsom's California is planning to implement a new "Grading for Equity" program at @SFUnified schools. This program will:

-Eliminate homework
-Eliminate weekly tests
-Allow for late assignment hand-ins
-Allow students to skip class without affecting grade
-Make getting an "80" an "A"
-Allow students to pass with as grade as low as "21"

RIP education in California.

I don't think I've ever seen a raunchier political whore than Newsom. But he gives his constituents what they want, consequences be damned.

I cannot believe this is true. I would need to see him promoting it to believe it.

the bottom line is a phrase from within that article.

and the candidate with the most points (although not necessarily a majority) is elected

No way no how. Since the article stated the rules of these systems vary wildly it gives a minority the ability to force the majority of the people to submit to their view point.This is for those who cannot win an election fairly so change the rules so we can make the people do what we want. Why doesn't this surprise me? Nice try kiddo...

One vote per person. It is not broke and this would only make it more confusing and provide a tool for you. You do have another agenda ! AHA!!

First of all, no one has to submit to anyone else's viewpoint.  Trump isn't forcing me or you to submit to his viewpoint. No one can do that outside of a dictatorship.
This is all assuming we stay a democratic Republic with freedom.  Assuming that, we are just trying to solve the problem of how to elect representatives who will compromise and build consensus.
Second of all, the minority often wins in the system we have now.  The plurality always wins, but the plurality is usually not a majority.  The system we have now has spoilers like Ralph Nader and Gary Johnson making it so no candidate has a majority.

Dude, this doesn't solve any issue we have. Your take on what it would do if passed is incorrect. I can see many, many ways to exploit this. It would multiply our issues. One vote one person, most votes wins and is elected. Well except for President where the electoral college actually votes based on the outcome of the State. All votes counted same day. No votes accepted after voting day.
