The regression displayed in this math ban is clearly in parallel with the negatively associated data the public shows in their oblique attitude to mathematics. I do not think you see the magnitude of the situation. This is clearly derivative of the infinitesimal view people have towards the field, and the general fear of the public in thinking mathematicians are radical.
Such heroic nonsense!

I'm all for banning Algebra. I mean, most people aren't even going to use algebra in their daily lives or occupations. Plus, that shit is complicated.

Splendid idea! Now we just have to rid ourselves of medicine, roads, bridges, cars, tanks, planes, boats, guns, clothing, farms, plumbing, internet, electricity, computers, television, schools, shipping companies, currency, fast food, microwave ovens, clocks, watches, houses, and just about everything else that involves math, and we'll be done!

A life as cavemen is preferable to a life tainted by the disgusting concept of Mathematics. I think everyone here will agree.

Yes, I agree. It doesn't matter how many wolves are chasing your tribe, so long as you run fast enough.

Well then just get rid of the electronics, eliminate the clothes and tie a T-bone steak to a stick and have someone dangle it over your head.
