California moves to recommend delaying algebra to 9th grade statewide
I&#x27;m perpetually perplexed at why some people seem to think that lowering the standards is going to help anyone. Do they not realise the source of all scientific and technical advancement is really the result of a minority of high achievers, and that by trying to &quot;flatten&quot; this inequality and effectively make everyone equally stupid, they are also going to be affected negatively?<p><i>applies social justice principles to math lessons</i><p>The inmates aren&#x27;t running the asylum anymore; they&#x27;re running the government. All I hope is that this cancerous ideology (I&#x27;ll resist the prop65 joke...)  doesn&#x27;t grow any further than it already has. The decline is certainly sad to see and already rather visible.
