"Remove algebra from the school curricula" is a lie. The decision that made noise was about eliminating accelerated algebra classes where people take algebra ahead of the normal schedule. Whether you think that is dumb or not, it is not "removing algebra from the school curricula."

They (CA) are dumbing down what we teach children (delaying Algebra I, or replacing it with "data science or statistics") because there are racial disparities in test scores. That's the result of wokeness, and it's bad.

Like I said, you can think it is bad if you want. But what happened wasn't "removing algebra from the curriculum."
