School (and university) administrators around the country have decided that the self-esteem of precious snowflakes is more important than academic standards.

I criticized the revamping of the biology curriculum in the NYC high schools years ago. They turned it from biology to "Living Environment" and cut out a lot except for libtard interests: DNA technology and ecology. Instruction about bones, muscles, eyes, flower anatomy---real biology---was eliminated. I remember remarking that this new "biology" course was more like "How do you FEEL about biology" than real science. No wonder the graduates entering college have to take remedial biology courses and a host of other remedial courses--costing the full price of college tuition but not contributing any graduation credits.

Pathetic.

Math classes have apparently gone the same direction. Rather than solving/deriving equations, students write or talk about how math makes them feel.
