I feel like this is pretty frightening. I thought algebra was basically a high school requirement? Not only do I think everyone should be able to understand basic algebra, they should understand basic statistics and probabilities (which is pretty hard to understand without algebra). These days, not only do people not understand math, but we use numbers and statistics to lie to people and mislead their decision making. Now we seem to just be making it easier to mislead them.
