Question, do you think computers and information processing are important? Well, computer programming (at least as it stands today) is nothing but Algebra writ large. It is all variables and equations...

There are some people who are incapable of advanced mathematics, regardless of how much they “don’t apply themselves”. Search dyscalculia sometime.

Why teach math when H1b’s are so easy to hire?
This is time better spent promoting self-esteem.

Let’s not stop there!
So long as we are dumbing down why teach Physics, Geometry, Biology, The Calculus?
Who needs grades 6 through 12?

Kids need Business Math far more than Algebra. If you can’t balance a check book, run tables, set budgets, you will have far more problems than if you can’t handle a Quadratic equation.

Math is a dangerous black art that is used by global warming deniers to discredit those like Al Gore who have been given divine inspiration. To save the planet all math books should be incinerated and the CO2 from the incinerators should be pumped deep into chambers in the earth’s crust where it cannot harm those of us who live in harmony with nature.
