If anything, Texas school systems should require at least pre-calculus by graduation.You're joking, right?
Texas public schools are 63% black and hispanic. Algebra II and above requires the ability to reason abstractly. Mastery of trig and calculus requires an IQ of 105 or above.
What do you think the average IQ in Texas public schools is?

I don’t see how lowering school standards will help. If we set the bar low, then the students will respond accordingly, ethnic composition of the student body not withstanding.
