Then how did he graduate from High School?
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you grade inflation exhibit “A”.
A hard thing to do without AA supplemented by a lot of additional improper influence.
If he fell off the math wagon that early, he didn't even get to basic high school algebra. That means he was totally lost in chemistry and physics, both of which are profoundly math based. Even more important, it means he's never even been qualified to have a responsible layman's discussion about any scientific or financial topics that are at least heavily math influenced.
Indeed, it probably means he never got into, and never paid any real attention in, any college level science courses. Those, as I can say from personal experience in taking ten credit hours of geology, are where a student begins to realize that science, at its edges, especially earth science, is highly disputatious, with many well qualified scientists bitterly arguing over many vital points. From that a student learns to take politically driven absolute declarations of scientific “fact” in popular journals, like declarations about the superstition of anthropogenic global warmming, with a box car full of salt.
The Illegal, being deeply math challenged, and mostly stoned during high school, was also a science ignoramus. Now this vile poseur tries to preach to us about vital scientific issues, actuarial insurance issues, and math based budget accounting issues when he is less informed than most ordinary high school graduates. He's never even had the education necessary to make an informed layman's delusion regarding the many issues on which he's fraudulently claimed to be a great intellect. No wonder he hides his records so fanatically.
