This is what DEI does in the real world. Democrats don't want you to know this, but the New York Times apparently managed to let this one get printed.

There’s no need for public school teachers be literate these days. The only thing graduates need to be able to do is fill out welfare and food stamp applications, and they usually have help with that.

“We already know that our licensure candidates have a bachelor’s degree, which in my mind means they have basic literacy and communication skills,” Dr. Middleton said.

Then why can’t they pass a basic test? I highly doubt it’s at all “rigorous.”

There was “too much mathematics” in the exam.

Many, many years ago (like 60 years) I was attending a local Community College. The college advertised they were opening up a lot of work/study jobs and I thought great… I’ll take one of them. Hell, it was a couple of hundred jobs that they hired for. So I quit my other job and started this one.

A week or so later, just about every one who was hired, was laid off. There was a big uproar so a meeting was called and the head of the meeting was the “Dean” who was responsible for the hiring, and the firing. She was a minority and even though I was just an 18 year old freshman, I understood pretty quickly what happened.

The Dean was talking about budgets for “physical” years. Not fiscal years, but “physical” years. She looked at a spread sheet that had thousands of dollars and thought it was millions of dollars. She had never heard the term fiscal year and thought it said physical year. She was basically a financial illiterate put in a position she should have never had. I was lucky. My old employer hired me back, but others were not so fortunate. All because this woman was no better at math than Brian Williams, who’s a total idiot.

Math can be very important.

DEI > Idiocracy

Why would a teacher need to be able to read or write?
