Why were "Education ""Experts""" so dead set on destroying math and logic education in the 20th century? Do you think we will ever recover?

That's obviously a different David Klein

>David Klein is a professor of Mathematics at California State University in Northridge.[1] He is an advocate of increasingly rigorous treatment of mathematics in school curricula and a frequently cited opponent of reforms based on the NCTM standards. One of the participants in the founding of Mathematically Correct, Klein is a popular figure in the Math Wars.
Algebra and further math completion rates went down because High School enrolment went up among the lower classes, who reduced the standards slightly to 'move them up' socially. Only a portion of teens were expected to go and complete high-school at the beginning of the 20th century. For many others, the current traditional Middle School length + 1 or 2 extra years served as their secondary school education before getting sent out to work. That's also why Greek and Latin course accessibility was also, on-paper, was statistically reduced among High-Schools despite the whole 'cultural revolution' which helped de-emphasis them not happening until the 60's -- because more and more High-Schools were getting created by local Governments to enroll the lower-classes, which a lot of didn't have access to unless they went to Private ones, and a lot of them paid for what was minimumally needed.
Math never died down, you just have the pool flooded with commoners who don't have access to better schools, teachers, and tutors who plan out and stick to schedule of what to topic to learn and become proficient at.

Humanitards being angry at mathfags, nothing new.
