“Eliminating accelerated math courses for middle and high school students is simply a bad idea with serious consequences. For starters, Virginia will have far fewer students accepted into engineering programs of study at U.S. colleges. Thereafter, Virginia’s engineering universities will be faced with watering down admission requirements for its own state students. Ultimately, Virginia students who are accepted into in-state and out-of-state engineering programs will not be able to compete with students from other states.” – Marie Richter, “Eliminating accelerated math classes in high school is just the first step on the road to an education disaster” – American Thinker, June 27th, 2021.

“Free speech has been strangled on college campuses in Canada, America, and Britain… In Canada, according to a free speech index by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms’ annual index which measured the state of free speech at 61 Canadian public universities. The majority of these universities valued diversity of characteristics rather than diversity of thought and belief… From this report we can see that only 21 percent of universities claim to uphold the values of free speech and thought and open enquiry. This as opposed to 69 percent to proclaim the furtherance of diversity as their highest institutional good.” – Henry George, “Free speech on college campuses suppressed across the English-speaking world” – The Post Millennial, October 4th, 2020.

“The National Association of Basketball Coaches are now urging colleges and universities to drop the Scholastic Assessment Tests (SATs) and American College Testing (ACT) because the tests are – you guessed it – racist… Why? Because objective tests prevent too many blacks from enjoying the college life. So instead of addressing the deficiencies of minority candidates, it is easier to cry ‘institutional racism’ and force standards to be lowered… The group’s committee, chaired by South Carolina coach Frank Martin and Harvard coach Tommy Amaker, said in a statement that the tests ‘no longer have a place in intercollegiate athletics or education at large.’ The elimination of the tests, they said, would be ‘an important step towards combating educational inequality’.” – Peter Skurkiss, “Drop tests for blacks, say college coaches” – American Thinker, July 20th, 2020.

“(Fourth graders) are now learning that the United States is founded on racism, that racism is the pervasive undercurrent in American governance, law enforcement, social interaction, employment, literature, arts, entertainment, real estate, and education… What this means is that the school is teaching kids how to interpret history before they learn the history they are meant to interpret. They’re telling kids what opinions to have before they’re giving the facts about which that opinion should be formed. Educators are making sure that these fourth graders look at history through the lens of critical race theory before they even know what that history is.” – Libby Emmons, “The NYC school system is teaching my ten-year-old son that he’s racist” – The Post Millennial, June 15th, 2020.

“Professors across the country are taking to social media to express their concern over being forced to deliver their course lectures online amid the coronavirus outbreak, sharing with each other tips on how to limit the number of people who are able to see what they’re teaching students… Texas Christian University Associate Professor of Political Science Emily Farris tweeted Thursday, ‘if you are recording a lecture on anything controversial, be prepared for right wing sites to ask students to share it’.” – Jon Street, “Professors worried students will share lectures with ‘right wing sites’.” – Campus Reform, March 19th, 2020.
