colleges
Decreasing required education classes (hard science skills)
Increasing political indoctrination classes (gender studies, White privilege studies).

and you’re going to pay to be politically indoctrinated

reminds me of the old story of when you got executed in communist countries that would bill the family for the bullet

Honestly folks, if you can’t pass this watered-down version of Intermediate Algebra, you are too dumb to get a degree in anything.

And no student loan should fund you.

Well, if a job applicant lists “CSU” as their college degree ... “Oh, I’m sorry, you are overqualified!”

So Blacks can’t learn it so drop it, leaving non-Blacks with an incomplete education.

More and more dumbing down of the country.

I recently graduated from CSU (ahem... Cleveland State University) with a bachelors in electrical engineering.

This drove me nuts while working toward my degree. I argued with my counselor that if I was required to take several humanities classes - read black studies - for my engineering degree, then the liberal arts students should be required to take calculus. I lost that fight, of course.

Right now, nearly 40 percent of freshmen admitted to a CSU campus have to take remedial math or English classes…

In other words, 40 percent of freshmen admitted to a CSU campus are not qualified and should never have been admitted.

Somebody should remind them that the name “algebra” is based on an Arabic word and that in dropping it as a requirement they’ll offend a certain favored hyper sensitive leftist protected class. Few things are as entertaining as a fully conflicted Liberal.

That is proof positive that secondary schools are failing to accomplish that which they are charged to do.

Intermediate a algebra is a high school class. Good luck taking any college level math class without it

Intermediate algebra should be mastered by every high school student. The formulas and logic are as basic as bread and butter. It’s the push to make every kid a master in the stuff like Calculus (that maybe 1% of them will use) that is a waste of teacher time besides in AP classes.

Why are we waiting around for CA to secede? Why don’t we kick them out and be done with them ? I like the way the electoral college looks without them.

Intermediate algebra? That which students should master as a freshman or sophomore in high school? Too much to ask from students to be given a college degree?

The simple fact is that level of math is simply a form of logic. How about acknowledging therefore that we are “credentialing” as college graduates those who can’t handle basic logic—aka basic thinking?

So when Johnny wants to lay carpets for a living and is asked to figure out how many square feet a job will take, he gets saved from having to perform menial labor and can move right to welfare...
