in America. I was talking to a lady who became rabid about: "well if you were rich, you earned and wouldn't want to be taxed to death" when I tried to explain to her about the disparity of the distribution of wealth in American. She really had no clue, Could be a problem with factions. But math teaches logical thinking and may I add Latin breaks us of our linguistic-centricity and helps us think outside of our linguistic box, there are other ways of expressing something and this might give you insight or a creative way of "thought".
Keep Algebra, bring back Latin and music and art appreciation! Stretch the little buggers minds, DAMN IT!
