Berkeley Prof Has to Teach Middle School Math to Clueless Students
Anything moonbattery infiltrates, it subverts and destroys. A well-known mathematics professor sounds the alarm on the effect it has had on higher education.
The New York Post reports:
“Some students are five to eight years behind in mathematics. Office hours that should be spent discussing integrals instead become lessons on fractions and basic algebra you would expect students to learn in middle school,” wrote Zvezdelina Stankova, of UC Berkeley, in an op-ed piece on Saturday for the San Francisco Standard.
UC Berkeley is highly exclusive; only 10.5% of applicants are admitted. However:
Stankova — who rose through the mathematics world to earn a PhD from Harvard after being born in communist Bulgaria — described the admissions process as “less like careful evaluation and more like chance.”
More specifically, if you have the good luck to be born into a racial group liberals regard as “oppressed,” you have a good chance of getting in, regardless of whether you have mastered basic math.
Surely their low SAT and ACT scores would keep utter morons out of prestigious schools like UC Berkeley no matter how nonwhite they are. But I’m forgetting — standardized tests have been jettisoned because merit is racist.
Standardized testing was phased out by UC Berkeley in 2020 after then-college president Janet Napolitano — who was Homeland Security Secretary for President Barack Obama — overruled a task force that had called for the entrance exams to be kept.
As with Obama, the pernicious legacy of former Arizona Governor Napolitano (or “Uncle Mort,” as she was less than affectionately known) will plague us indefinitely.
