I mean… I don’t know that many people but, even so, I know a couple who are in most ways smarter than me and who’d be very-capably contributing a ton more to the economy if math classes hadn’t blocked them from it. They’d have been way above median at a ton of important jobs, but weren’t allowed to do that because they were bad at, specifically, some math they didn’t need for those jobs. No degree, so, life path permanently altered in a way bad for both them and all the rest of us.

If I know a couple, there are probably many such folks.

I’ve not seen the same thing happen with any other subject.
