I saw this movie called “Idiocracy” and thought it was great entertainment but didn’t realize it was a blueprint to our future.

only require people to take a womens studies class for any degree and your graduation rates will likely shoot to 100%!
I mean, why stop with eliminating alegbra?

In other words, evolution has reversed course. Homos Saps have reversed course. Heading back towards Neanderthalism. Then again, it could be because the Snowflakes and Zeros are too damn lazy to do a math problem or that their attention span is microscopic.

About one in three Kansas students fails college algebra the first time around Perhaps one in three Kansas students shouldn't be in college in the first place.

if university requirements still focused on grades and test scores instead of diversity points... then maybe there’d be students in college that could handle basic algebra... which i passed in 7th grade.

“About one in three Kansas students fails college algebra the first time around. Some take it several times before they pass. Others get so frustrated that they drop out altogether. And that cuts into university graduation rates.”
If this is a problem, they should drop out - they shouldn't have been there in the first place.

It’s not that Algebra is ‘TOO DIFFICULT’, it’s that the students are too damn stupid.
