CA does the exact same thing. After all who needs algebra to be able to say "Do you want fries with that?"

Actually, in CA an average white kid isn't qualified to work in McDonalds, because he can't say that in spanish.

C'mon! I wanna see someone take the other side and defend this lowering of standards. We all complain about this stuff, but somehow it happens. Who's doing it then? I want to meet someone who says we need to lower the already frighteningly low math standards because minorities' skin color is much more important than competence.
