Who teaches math anymore? I mean, most PhD programs are without any math at all.

So where’s the ‘learning’ part of universities?

Math is hard!

Especially if your IQ is 85 or so.

By “inaccessible and oppressive” they mean to say “your ticket out”.

Back when I was in college, we had math majors and teaching math majors. The teaching math majors were not the sharpest tools in the proverbial shed. We spent three days in the integral calculus class trying to figure out what happened to the dx when one integrated, thanks to them.

Percentages are too hard. The question should be: In what year should Jefferson's statue be torn down?

Sorry folks, you can’t teach IQ and you can’t do brain transplants. Deal with it, SJWs.

This should completely finish off any hope of graduating people ready for the work force.

Let’s make colleges and universities math-free safe spaces. Math is microaggression!

Why teach math when there is a whole world of H1B’s out there?

Where’s the study that shows public schools fail to prepare students for college?

This is part of the reason why insanity like the flat-earth theory not only still exists, but is gaining believers.

They have no understanding of the math behind the physics proving a global earth, so it must be wrong in their minds.

I was terrible at math, but that was my fault, not classes being “inaccessible and oppressive”. You have to want to learn it, and they don’t want to.

They wouldn’t be if colleges were still allowing admission by MERIT rather than by ‘social justice’ standards.

They used to have people in colleges who could actually do math.

Some have a mind for math and some don’t. I don’t. Fortunately, I high 700d on the other side of those admission tests and fought my way through the only math class that was required. Does it really take all that much to admit that you have no talent for math? I suck at basketball also. I have a sneaky cut block.

I would argue that these professors are committing treason against the US. If you want to cripple a nation’s defense capability, just cripple the education system’s ability to deliver high level math and science instruction. That will put the nation’s ability to design and develop new weapons at risk and make it vulnerable higher risk immigrants who actually worked hard to learn those skills. Many of those skills were acquired by foreign students right here in the US. I saw it happening when I was in college in the 70’s

Do these commies really think we are that stupid? Round them up and file charges against them TODAY!!!!!! It is high time we quit going easy on conspiracy to commit treason.
