Unfortunately, it seems our country has gone insane so people are letting it happen.

Another great reason... to leave California. I am surprised anyone can afford to go to school there anyway. We have more than a trillion in bad student loan debt now. Do I hear 2 trillion?

What if a young student unknowingly cured cancer. Would his work be announced or rejected in the name or equanimity? What nonsense. This is not education, it is dumbing down brainwashing.

At higher levels, math becomes increasingly abstract, and only a very few can understand it. There is no equality. It may not be fair, but it is what it is.

This is the classic case of the weak ganging up on the strong to eliminate the threat.

Math is racist in nature. It only provides right and wrong answers
WTF.

The more such a change the better for China, which put their kids though vigorous and brutal tests from kindergarten to adult

Inept math teachers and PC B$ rules have been a problem in California for at least 4+ decades.
