I think this is really great.

My kid is only a junior in high school and is now almost finished with the AP Calculus series. By the time he graduates, he should have the entire undergrad Engineering math requirement behind him. He’s even had an intro to Differential Equations.

He should have NO competition from these morons. If the beaming simpletons of Oregon want to teach their spawn MathBonics, let them. They can be the losers of the game while the hard working kids move up and on.

The problem is that affirmative action hiring practices may have these mathematics ignoramuses designing bridges, flying airplanes, and even becoming air traffic controllers!

Leftist is dangerous for children and other living things.

Is your kid black or some other protected race?
Then he could very well get bumped in favor of a minority student with more diverse ‘life experiences.’
After all, merit is racist, too.

Your boy has got to have risen to the ranks of grandmaster klansman by now if that’s the case! 😉

He shouldn’t, but that doesn’t mean he won’t. STEM is being targeted. We can’t have meritocracy in engineering. We need engineers who ‘look like America’.

I took the dumbing down as an opportunity for my son to excel. He did. 5 AP courses...many that he personally tutored in evening sessions with his fellow students and a few in-class lessons where he knew the material better than the chair warmer assigned to "teach" the class.

My son wanted to attend a "magnet" school in Marine Biology sponsored by Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego. To attend the school, he had to board a bus at 5:30 AM and return at 5:30 PM at the bus stop. The school was located in southeast San Diego. Predominantly hispanic and black student body. His aspirations to academic excellence made him the top fly on the dung heap. Frequent beatings at "recess". It was a day care center with 2 meals per day. Poor academics. Scripps? They showed up every other Thursday for 30 minutes. What a sham. We pulled him out after drive-by shootings occurred a block from the school.

It took 3 weeks for my son to "catch up" with his class in Mira Mesa. I still had to correct his math and English work as his teacher was incompetent. The only net "win" from the experience is he got some valuable total immersion Spanish language learning and it a totally fluent Spanish speaker today.

I supplemented his education at home. He was reading Einstein's Theory of Relativity. There were some references to trigonometry. He asked and I supplied instruction on the topic so he could continue.

Bottom line: don't let the idiots screwing with academic excellence destroy the education of your children. Supplement at home and leave those jackasses in the dust.
