I'll assume you misread the thread. You're arguing that teaching calculus in public school is a form of eugenics.

If that's actually what you're arguing, I'd love to hear more (if only for entertainment value).

If that's your assessment, then you are, ironically, yourself proof of the failure of the American education system. (If you were educated in it. If not, you're proof of the failure of whatever system you were educated in.)

There is no reasonable read of the previous message that could lead the to conclusion that that was its argument. None. Zero.
