A federal appeals court ruled in favor of William, a student who graduated with a 3.4 GPA but couldn't read his diploma. The case exposes how schools inflate grades while failing to teach basic literacy, leaving students unprepared for real life.
He graduated with a 3.4 GPA, but he couldn't even read his high school diploma. That's why William sued his school district that left him illiterate and said he was denied basically an appropriate public education that should be guaranteed to all students by federal law. So on February 3rd, a federal appeals court sided with William, concluding that he was, quote, quote unquote, capable of learning to read, close quote, and agreeing with his claim that his lack of education had caused him broad irreparable harm, quote unquote. This guy gets through school, a participation trophy, and then he hits the real world. He's got to read, he's got to write, he's got to be able to do some basic math, and this kid can't do it. All the while they're slapping this kid. Good bat, good job, William, good job, good job. 3.4 GPA. He can't even read.
