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.
