Systemic Stupidity is a greater problem than ‘systemic racism’.
Actually...they should offer a choice: Latin and Greek...or Swahili.

It is an excuse to end languages that are difficult but very precise in meaning and usage especially Greek.
Academic rigor is simply gone and has been replaced with pablum because the children are semi-literate.
Heavens, the left would not want them to be able to think, would they?
Fine, but the question is what case the verb 'to order' takes. I don't think its the accusative so it must be the ablative - and most certainly not the nominative case, as implied by the joke. IIRC, the ablative case ending for 2nd declension nouns is always 'o'. The refusal of the schools to teach Latin for the last fifty years or so has been a disaster for the Republic.

Shit!
Nothing says classics like not studying the classicsA classic!
But you see the classics are not classics after all, because whitey decided what is and is not classic. Who is to say that the classic SNL parody poem “Kill MY Landlord” is not a classic? There are no standards any more. No truth. No beauty. It’s mob rule.

How can anyone understand fractions or decimals if they can't do division or subtraction?
Students are now being moved ahead a grade even if they never learned the basics. The teachers's union thinks it's okay. They have doomed a generation of children to a lifetime of innumeracy.
A step in the wrong direction.
