Instead of increasing the quality of primary and secondary education the liberals' solution is to dumb things down even further.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

By "minorities" are we talking exclusively about American blacks? Because I'm pretty sure the rest of the "minorities" are doing just fine in algebra.
If global warmers actually practiced algebra and real math, they would never have been able to push the hockey stick theory.
If the public understood algebra they would know the global warming hockey stick is BS.
Why must we continually allow them to drag us down to their level?
Hahahahaha...
“Good for your son..!”
Usually when people toss that off, they’re bitter and pissed. It’s usually a hostile retort.
But I’m not, I genuinely MEAN it.
I’m pleased.
That explains all the people who believe that Global Warming/Climate Change nonsense.
It is so sad to see that half a century after Sputnik, we are still lagging behind the rest of the civilized nations in Math and Science.
>>drop algebra anyway as it is a waste of time ,and I have never used it since leaving school.<<
I use it frequently.
Math, especially algebra, should be known to any civilized person.
Easy solution, bring back vocational schools! The complaint is that the Community College is educating, not training. Do. The. Math!
One doesn’t need “Black/Ethnic/Gender ‘Studies’” either to get a job . .
But let’s see this professor (or anyone) advocate dropping those
Next up: Toilets in easy chairs.
If you do not mind, in what capacity do you use it in every day life, or is it to do with your job?

Vocational question. The oil gauge shows 2/3 full. The engine holds 4 quarts of oil. How much oil does it need?
(this is for a high performance car that has an oil gauge)
I imagine you’re right about that.
I registered for a collage algerbra cpurse and on the first night I could see the instructor was a lunatic so I withdrew It was a very good move the giy was a terrible teacher and 15 of the 20 that stayed got F
Algebra also promotes an ordered thought process and logical, rules based approach to problem solving so it is a critical part of any education. It changes the way your think in a positive fashion, even if you never use it.
The reality is the radical egalitarian liberal education establishment realizes that we have created a huge population of lazy, low functioning, semi literate youths who cannot compete in today's technical world. Many exhibit very low intelligence and are compromised by prenatal fetal drug and alcohol damage to their brains and nervous systems which is made all the worse by their ghetto values mindset and socialization.
The radical egalitarians wish to “ level the playing field” so the generations of low functioning illiterates can compete on a one on one basis with higher functioning members of society.
Many of the these radicals are themselves low functioning academics who have advanced through affirmative action and have it through school only due to lower standards
The only way they can level the playing field is destroy any and all objective standards and eliminate the concept of a meritocracy.
This has been going on for decades, it's just that they are becoming open about their objectives.
FWIW, sometimes it's good to have the academic background because you never know when you may need it later in life. About half the things I have done were covered in classes I though were a waste of time covering subject matter I would never need or use.
Life can be strange that way
