This Meme Might Be the Best-Ever Indictment of Math Education’s Descent

This has been ALL OVER social media the last few days and I LOVE it:

As you can clearly see, the skills required to complete the work lessen each year. And then in 2016 math becomes about political correctness and a hyper-progressive sense of morality:

• 1956 – Concepts, division and subtraction.
• 1976 – Concepts and subtraction.
• 1986 – Concepts (no mathematics).
• 1996 – The ability to differentiate between numbers.
• 2016 – “Correct” moral judgements.
• 2056 – Western culture has been destroyed and taken over.

Funny, to be sure. And sad (but, at least through 2016, VERY true).

Thank you for reading and please share!
