Meanwhile, schools across the country are removing algebra credits for graduation, because it is a "civil rights issue."
Some teacher certification tests on testing the literacy of prospective teachers are being dumbed down for....civil rights. Why on earth would teachers need basic skills?

"Institution for the Study of Globalization and Covert Politics"
