illiterate, schmilliterate
A group of high school students and their parents are suing the California department of education. These students all failed either the English and/or Math portions of the statewide high school exit exam.
So, rather than study their subjects and take their educations seriously, these students will sue to get their diplomas.
What do they hope to accomplish? If they get their diplomas even though they are functionally illiterate, what good does it do for them? The diploma doesn't mean that they are educated. It is supposed to be an indication that they have learned the necessary minimum to be allowed to graduate from high school.
If this lawsuit succeeds, it will render all California high school diplomas worthless except as kindling or toilet paper. "Gee, I'd like to hire you, but a diploma from a California high school is worthless. Go get your GED from another state, and then we'll talk."
