Latino, Black students often blocked from algebra classes linked to good jobs - The Washington Post
"Because of implicit biases, racial biases, and mindsets about who is and who isn't a math person, Black and Latino students and students from low-income backgrounds — even when they demonstrate that they are ready and they are very clear that they are eager for those courses — are still shut out," Socol said.

"Today's NAEP results confirm a devastating trend: American students are testing at historic lows across all of K-12," McMahon said, adding, "Despite spending billions annually on numerous K-12 programs, the achievement gap is widening, and more high school seniors are performing below the basic benchmark in math and reading than ever before."

Musk flubs impeachment math in railing against judges who rule against Trump
Putting aside the subjective assessment that rulings against the Trump administration constitute a "judicial coup," the impeaching body is the House of Representatives. If a House majority votes for impeachment, then the matter moves to the Senate, where two-thirds of senators — that would be 67, not 60 — are required to vote for conviction (which, for example, they declined to do for both of Trump's impeachments in his first term)...
