Math

Some schools are saying that math is racist based on test scores where minorities score much lower. While at first this seems ridiculous there is a point to be made and it has nothing to do with racism. There is a need for scientists and engineers and math is important in that regard but schools are saying that all students need algebra and chemistry and that is overkill. In many of these classes students are baffled and end up thinking they are dumb. If a student graduates from high school and knows how to read and write down what they read, they will be OK. This is called reading comprehension and is vital in today's world but algebra is not. Let each student excel in what they do best but make sure all can read properly.
