Hundreds of prominent professors — including top names from CUNY, NYU, and Columbia — have signed a letter blasting the erosion of math rigor in grades K to 12.

Arguing that curtailing advanced math programs puts American kids at a global disadvantage, the coalition called the movement “the height of irresponsibility.”

A total of 746 math teachers and professors across the country signed the new missive, warning that enfeebled math curriculums would have dire consequences down the line.

The teachers — including two CUNY professors, nine from Columbia University, and 13 from NYU — argued that kids need exposure to advanced math prior to college in order to truly excel.

I saw a similar example with the stock market going up and down by the same percentage, for a net loss. I think they used insidious or some similar pejorative to describe it.
