>>13939752In South Carolina the requirement was precalculus minimum to graduate. Calculus I could be substituted by probability and statistics, which most people took, as anyone taking calc I just took AP Calculus which was only offered the first semester. Second semester AP calc required students to take it at the local community College.
I don't find it surprising that a shithole like California has such low standards. In my experience, it seems very liberal states are the most likely to have POC students all go to technical highschools and limits their chances at university. This is the case in most of the northeast states like NJ and NY. Good highschools require middle school "students"(parents who care) to fill applications like college, and find their own method of transportation as the busses aren't going to go all over the county to pick up stray kids. Even at the middle school level, liberal states and cities set up immigrant and non-white neighborhoods to fail, with insanely low standards. When I was a new immigrant child in Newark, they were teaching times tables in 7th grade. In the middle of my 7th grade school year I transfered to South Carolina and they were going over algebra.
Southern states are desegregated by law, and the gated neighborhood kids go to the same school as the poor trailer park and low income housing kids.
Math education isn't racist. State level administration in liberal states is filled with racists who want to make non-whites unskilled slave labor with no opportunity to work their way up.
