Generally boys do better in STEM classes and worse in English and foreign languages. Guess which ones they keep adding to the requirements and which they try to take out? It’s part of the war on boys that has permeated our schools.
I don’t think anyone should be able to graduate with a college degree unless they understand compound interest. It will have a larger role in most peoples life than a foreign language.

One of our younger second generation male relatives is very good with math and science classes. He goes to an expensive private all male school. He recently told us that next year his STEM classes will become STEMA, The A stands for arts.
I posed the question to his parents, “Did they add A/arts to hire female teachers to meet some quota!”
At first I was laughed at, now his parents are not laughing.
They and other parents are now opposing this PC crap. They are paying $20 k per year out of their pocket for this PC bs.
