A short while ago I posted on Facebook about my having watched competitive figure skating during the past two days. Several days ago I read in our voter pamphlet for the election next month that about half of school districts in California require students to meet state university admission requirements in order to earn a high school diploma. It seems absurd to me to attempt – and it can only be an attempt – to compel anyone whose passion is ice skatIng (or anyone at all) to learn the academic subjects necessary for college admission.

Agreed! And if those skaters eventually decide they want to go to college, they will be able to.
