有些族裔的代数水平不行，所以考代数成种族歧视的工具了。

For many decades, educators have viewed algebra as something students need to understand in high school, if not earlier. Now, we have college administrators who think it's too hard, causing too many of their students to fail and thus preventing them from getting a college degree.

几十年来从事教育的人认为学生如果初中没学代数， 高中生应该掌握代数的。 今天有些学院的管理人员认为代数太难，许多学生不能通过考试，导致他们无法得到大学文凭。

And that, of course, means we should get rid of algebra, the chancellor of California's community college system told NPR this week.

结果就是我们应该取消代数，这是本周加州社区学院系统教务长告诉全美公众电台的。

Algebra is one of the biggest hurdles to getting a high school or college degree ? particularly for students of color and first-generation undergrads.
It is also the single most failed course in community colleges across the country. So if you're not a STEM major (science, technology, engineering, math), why even study algebra?
That's the argument Eloy Ortiz Oakley, chancellor of the California community college system, made today in an interview with NPR's Robert Siegel.

“代数是高中生入大学的的最难跨越的障碍之一，特别是非白人学生和第一代移民学生。代数也是全美大学中不及格率最高的课程。如果你不是STEM(科学，技术，工程和数学）的学生，干嘛要你学代数?" 加州社区学院系统教务长 Eloy Ortiz Oakley 在接受全美公众电台记者RobertSiegel 采访时提出这种说法。
