This is further proof that LIBs are malignant nitwits who despise civil society. They are such losers that they also despise meritocracy. Oafs.

The 4s blames the 3s for discriminating against them and don't get me started on what the 5s think about the 7s!

And remember to free the Zeros..... after all they have nothing!

I wonder if the FR site administrators could add a proprietary button to the message reply interface to automatically call up that GIF of Vladimir Putin laughing his ass off?

I find myself constantly wanting to post that one...

Algebra is Arabic. Concept of Zero is Indian. Arithmetic is Babylonian and Egyptian. These people are idiots and it’s way past time to limit our funding of them to pablum and diapers.

“And people wonder why companies go out for Asians and Indians for tech jobs????”

Agreed. Back in the early 60’s and had aspirations of Engineering, Electrical in my case, IT wasn’t even invented as a career,you had Trig with a ‘dusting’ of Calc in your senior high school year. I went to a regular H/S nothing fancy. I doubt if these courses are even taught in H/S today.

Simple statistics says that half of all people are either just on or below the median on an intelligence curve (per my tag line).

Apparently Seattle and most of California have cornered the left side of the curve for themselves.

Question for the "educators" pushing this swill: without a solid grounding in math, where we will find our next generation of scientists, engineers, designers, doctors, developers, architects, managers, marketers, leaders?

They can't all end up being uneducated leftist teachers..

So if a police office stops me and claims that I was speeding, I can claim since a speed limit sign has numbers, it’s racist, and the act of the police office stopping me is profiling!

When I was in school, teachers were called “teachers.” Now they are “educators,” or more precisely “re-educators.”

Schools have turned into re-education camps where everyone will be brought to the equality of the least intelligent.

Orwell nailed it.

I’m afraid this nonsense isn’t going to end until new bridges start falling down, and similar. And maybe not then.
