Having a required class that black people don't/can't pass as often as white people is against both state and federal law. I know it is stupid but it is the law.


how can that be?

Algebra is what it is.
You bother to learn it or you don't.

Take their tv's and phones away.
Then lets see who can memorize the rules of algebra.
I'm baffled by the notion that math testing can be done in a racist way.

Most of this stuff is just effort.

If Lou Diamond Phillips can learn AP Calculus in one semester, then Algebra isn't some Albatross.

We're not talking about Quantum Physics or Biochemisty.

It isn’t racist and I agree but in the US any practice that has a disparate impact on a protected group is illegal even if the practice affords equal opportunity to the protected group.
