It's also about ensuring that kids are never educated and thus will be forced to depend on the government to provide for them. Have you seen their bullshit for math? In only a few years, we'll have millions of new college freshmen who can't do basic math.

We're already there. Look at the test scores across the country for black high schoolers and then realize that they get to go to college for free

Yeaaa. Add to the college grads that look at desktop computers sideways like a puppy when you make a funny noise. Life is gonna be FUN! /s.

Yuup, it was created to fight "white privilege" by making it impossible for parents to help their kids with homework

Hyperbole. There are plenty of HS kids in Calc 2 and 3. Plenty of kids who are educated, more than when I grew up. It's just that Common Core is a money grab - that's the problem.

Calc 3 is rarely taught at the HS level (is it ever?). It shouldn't be this way, but schools focus on humanities over all.

You could have just said "No, I haven't seen the Common Core math". If you had, you'd understand. There's a reason people with even advanced degrees in math / statistics look at it and say "What the fuck....how are you supposed to do that?".
