China rises as world’s STEM leader while US schools place diversity first

[Counselor706]

Three career academic math scholars gave a stern warning about the “deplorable” state of K-12 math education in the United States as schools prioritize social justice and diversity over merit, thereby allowing China to successfully advance as the world’s leader in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Percy Deift of New York University, Svetlana Jitomirskaya of Georgia Institute of Technology and University of California Irvine, and Sergiu Klainerman of Princeton University – all academic math scholars who arrived in the United States as young immigrants – wrote at Quillette in August of their concern that the nation they are “proud” to call their home is quickly losing its “dominant position” in the mathematical sciences.

The math scholars explained the irony associated with states, such as California, that are touting efforts to fight against what is claimed to be “racist” math:

'The social-justice rhetoric used to justify these diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs is often completely at odds with the reality one observes on campuses. The concept of fighting “white supremacy,” in particular, doesn’t apply to the math field, since American-born scholars of all races now collectively represent a small (and diminishing) minority of the country’s academic STEM specialists."

Everything we hear about the American education system these days is about a refocus on STEM subjects.

Meanwhile, the curricula that would support that is being destroyed in high schools the country over.

Fuck you. We're paying nearly four times per student than what we did 50 years ago, and students have only gotten stupider. Money is not the issue.

The story has nothing to do with Biden.

China is rising because of State directed control....they don't have the messy nonsense of "everyone having a say" or "freedom's or "liberty" to deal with.....they just set a cap on the maximum hours boy/men can spend playing internet games to 3 hours a week. It's why the can build a field hospital in three days and a high tech hospital in 6 weeks.

There system, whether we like it or not, is superior.

Authoritarianism gets shit done, it's true. You can admire WWII Germany for the same reason. It's AMAZING how productive and industrious people get with a police state disappearing folks off to "camps" in the middle of the night.

But I bet your bitch ass won't give up life in the USA and move there or any "progressive" shit hole you opine for though. Because authoritarianism sucks, it's what everyone hates about military life and it's why millions flee "progressive" shit holes despite all the equity created by said police states.

No, their cultural values are superior, they strive for excellence and self improvement for the betterment of self, community and nation which they love. Unlike the west where the left insists we as a society cater to the fee fees of the lowest common denominator and promote hatred of self, community and especially of nation as a sort of penance for living so well ....which is the (D) strategy for fucking everything. Self destruction. Somewhere along the way western leftist were taught to hate themselves and their country.

That is why others are doing better than us... they don't hate themselves, their culture and their country.

they built a pyramid that lasted a few thousand years but a child toys last maybe one play maybe two and then its shit... not impressed.
Anybody can copy a design thats already proven to work and with the barrel of a gun in your face, you can make stolen copies even quicker.
What you can't do real well with a gun in your face, is come up with an original and innovative idea.

You know about yourself don't you....yes, we don't want an authoritarian leader like you any time soon.

I'm not the authoritarian here. Mr. 'communism is a superior system' ...

Your open advocacy of authoritarian systems is noted.....another point of why you and the other totalitarian control freaks are NOT liberals

*their* btw...not 'there'.

Fuck you. We're paying nearly four times per student than what we did 50 years ago, and students have only gotten stupider. Money is not the issue.

It never was. If you look at the SAT scores by state it becomes obvious that those states obsessed with "social justice" and "social promotion" are sucking hind tit. It gets even more interesting when you look at the SAT scores by districts within the various states. It turns out that the SAT scores are almost universally inversely proportional to the dollars spent per student. That being the case it becomes obvious that money isn't buying results.

Handing functional illiterates a diploma is NOT a solution.

They aren't looking for a solution, they're looking for "equity" where everyone gets what everyone else has.

And make all those people who are too stupid/inept to do even that job feel bad?


You've got to be kidding...

Not in China.

Yes, you prove again how god damn uniformed you are. You don't know shit about China. They can't build shit over there without it falling apart in a couple of years. They have brand new poorly built cities that can not be inhabited, for God's sake. They're called ghost cities. Google it.

AIUI, those cities are uninhabited not because they're structurally unsound, but because there are no local jobs. The government didn't plan ahead that far when it built them.
