You could also try to skim some of the original material instead of taking an article obviously written with a propaganda level of bias hook line and sinker.

Stop blindly trusting people because they use some of the same political buzzwords you like.

They aren't proposing any reduction in math education, it's actually a proposal to try to teach more students, more math.

Most schools in the us start in b early middle school a set "advanced" math course. And if for some reason you weren't accepted in 6th grade, it is totally very difficult to get into the advanced math tract as it is taught and assumed that you need every year of math perfectly in order or you will be "lost".

No other subject is taught like this. I had many people move in and out of honors classes from 6-12th grade. But very rarely people move into the honors math classes from non honors. Kinda a big sign the current system is stifling
