Financial surveillance is expanding, argues Cato’s Nick Anthony. The $10,000 currency transaction report threshold was set in 1945 and codified in 1970, when it was considered an unusually large sum. Today, it's a routine transaction. It’s time for Congress to fix it.
Liberal "Equity" Experiment Crushes UC Math Standards
San Francisco Chronicle reports what many saw coming: UC Berkeley math professors, joined by over 800 faculty, are blowing the whistle on the disaster caused by scrapping SAT and ACT requirements in 2020. The move, pushed hard by progressive administrators chasing racial quotas and "equity," has left incoming students woefully unprepared for college-level work.
Data from UC San Diego paints a brutal picture. Freshmen unable to handle basic high school math have skyrocketed 30-fold. Seventy percent of these struggling students sit below middle-school math skills. That's roughly one in every twelve UC students now derailed before they even start, blocking them from STEM classes and real degrees.
Grade inflation, pandemic excuses, and fuzzy high school transcripts created the perfect storm. Without objective tests, universities flew blind into this mess. The professors are now demanding standardized math and science testing be brought back by 2027 as a bare-minimum reality check.
This is the predictable failure of liberal ideology in action. Obsessed with lowering standards to engineer equal outcomes, they ignored merit, readiness, and basic competence. The result? A generation of students set up to fail, wasted taxpayer dollars on remedial classes, and eroded excellence at flagship public universities. Diversity theater over actual education. California families and future innovators pay the price while the equity crowd shrugs and demands more of the same. Time to kill the experiment and restore sanity. ... See MoreSee Less
