Educational priorities

Thomas Sowell: Phony 'ethics':
"We have known for a long time that teenagers in Japan scored much higher on international math tests than American teenagers do. But did you know that teenagers in Poland, the Slovak Republic, Iceland, Canada, and Korea -- among other places -- also score higher than our teenagers? Out of 29 countries whose teenagers took a recent international math test, American teenagers ranked 24th. Americans also scored near the bottom on tests of general problem-solving."
But no one should be able to get their college diploma at the University of Michigan without a Sex and Gender requirement being met! (see earlier post)
