According to Achieve’s recently updated list of states with “college- and career-ready” graduation requirements, twenty-one states make the cut. California is not one of them. Two-thirds of the states with college- and career-ready requirements have a foreign language and/or arts requirement for graduation.
With AB2446 poised to effectively eliminate California’s art/foreign language high school graduation requirement, does California really want to more further away from having college- and career-ready standards?

I love it how you have carefully picked and twisted the source materials for your erroneous viewpoint.
The source says CA is NOT demanding that all students take 4 years of English and 4 years of math. It has nothing to do with Art, Language, and CTE.
Typical Art-teacher alarmism and lies. California is moving in the direction of Career Technical Education. I would recommend we spend time and effort figuring out how YOU can fit into this paradigm instead of focusing on defeating legislation in order to limit student’s access to a valid curriculum.
