There's an insane amount of people who go into college with super shitty math skills.
I say this as someone who was a math tutor and tutored many students in remedial algebra courses.
I think only like 56% of students who enroll in a course called "college algebra", which is equivalent to HS algebra 2, pass the course.

logic - you either have it or you don't
you cannot learn logic.

Progressive Algebra Problem:
George Soros will pay you $50,000 to organize and execute a protest against ICE agents detaining MS13 members.
You want $25,000 for yourself and the minimum rate for a protester is $20 per hour. Sticks and anti-American signs cost $10,000. You have a socialist rally meeting in 4 hours and it takes you 1 hour to travel there.
How many protesters can you get for the demonstration without having to get more $$ from Soros? You will not pay taxes on anything.
See, algebra is important to everyone.

WTF is so hard about algebra?
Thinks n shite.
Also, liberals aren't all that high on logic. Algebra is a logical platform. It helps people think logically and is therefore a threat to the liberal dogma.

You know, even 50 or 60 years ago, a university education meant something.
Now? It's like someone just hung around high school a few more years.
And not necessarily a good high school.

So this professor thinks blacks are not capable of math? Is that not racist?
The truth should never be considered racist. Denying reality is what gets us into trouble.

Ya and that is why our public education system is going to shite. They also have to make lots of shite like theft not punishable by suspension because black kids were getting suspended more for stealing. It’s insanity and it’s also the law.

Black people are too dumb to figure out algebra so we need to get rid of it

Shouldn’t this be an individual problem?
I always excelled at writing, creativity, linguistics and even science to some extent.
Barely functional at Algebra and Trig. Just good enough to get those classes put down in college. I was a little better at geometry as it seemed more tangible.
To say that an entire group of people are bad at something based on their ethnicity is the very definition of racism.

Like I have said as fricking retarded as that is it is also the law so if the algebra is a REQUIRED class we have to get rid of it or make it not required.
