[Leaning Right]

Higher math courses (like algebra) teach valuable reasoning skills. For example, you cannot solve an algebra problem by "doing your own thing". You must follow the rules in a logical sequence. And there is only one right answer.

Conservative viewpoint: If it's difficult, work harder.
Liberal viewpoint: If it's difficult, quit.

“And there is only one right answer.”

Quadratic equations have two right answers. :)

“And there is only one right answer.”

Don’t forget the negative solution to the quadratic polynomial :P

That’s why I always liked math. There’s only one right answer. Common core is trying to remedy that.

“And there is only one right answer.”

Often there is more than one right answer.

Liberal viewpoint: If it’s difficult, it must be racist or sexist. So pass a law against it or get an affirmative action exemption for your “special” group.

I attended a graduation at Smith College a few years ago. A retiring mathematics professor was honored during the ceremony. When introducing him, the president of Smith (a female, of course) said that math was hard for women.

I almost fell out of my chair when she said that!
