Kansas Eyes Ending Required College Algebra — Too Many Students Can't Pass It

Did you take college algebra? A new generation of baccalaureate-bearing Kansans may soon overwhelmingly answer with “No.” There’s a substantial chance the state will 86 its algebra requirement.

 

Few graduates end up employing high-level algebra in their chosen career fields; but that’s not necessarily why it might get subtracted.

As noted by NPR in Kansas City, there’s a much more primary problem:

About one in three Kansas students fails college algebra the first time around.

White Students Are Prohibited From Applying to This UNC Fellowship

The public university dragged into court over its race-conscious admissions policy is now advertising a research fellowship that bars white applicants from applying.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill—whose affirmative action program, along with that of Harvard University, is under review by the Supreme Court—sponsors the Fellowship for Exploring Research in Nutrition, which accepts applications exclusively from students who are "Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC)," according to the program's website. Fellows earn thousands of dollars, live in on-campus apartments paid for by the university, and receive generous mentorship opportunities, including letters of recommendation.

I am trying to decide something. Maybe you or someone else could help me. Those  pushing this

1. Actually Want a violent push back/reaction to this neo-racism.

2. Are actually so shallow/ignorant/out of touch with 90%(?) of the American people (who  they are supposed to serve) that the actually believe this?

 

BTW Either view s NOT a good thing. Evil or Ignorant, not much of a choice.

If I had children attending Charles Wright Academy, I would 1. Pull them right now 2. Show up  with as many other parents as possible, and ask some Hard, Rude, (possibly) Obscene questions of the administration. Torches and pitchforks might not be out of place.

For Teachers Unions, Parents and Children Come Last

Schools in the Rochester school district in Michigan include in their curriculum a course called “History of Ethnic and Gender Studies.”

If my child were attending school there, I would wonder why this is in the curriculum as part of K-12 education and what is taught.

One mother, Carol Beth Litkouhi, wondered enough that she went to the school and asked for details about what will be conveyed to her child in this program.

The response she got from the school amounted to “sorry, none of your business.”

 

Excuse me. A mother has no right to know what her child is being taught?

Litkouhi turned to the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation, which filed a lawsuit against the school district. A request was made under the state’s Freedom of Information Act to release to this mother details about the program. But this request also went nowhere.

Now, the Oakland County Circuit Court has ruled supporting the school district’s claim that because teachers belong to a teachers union, they are not public employees subject to the FOIA.
