AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF SCIENTIFIC STUDIES PROVE DEFINITIVELY THAT RIGHT WING BELIEFS ARE HEAVILY CORRELATED WITH LOW INTELLIGENCE:
Bright Minds and Dark Attitudes: Lower Cognitive Ability Predicts Greater Prejudice Through Right-Wing Ideology and Low Intergroup Contact
Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice
Study links low intelligence with right-wing beliefs
Right-wing ideology and numeracy: A perception of greater ability, but poorer performance
Conservatism and cognitive ability
Intelligent people are more likely to be left-wing, says science
People with lower emotional intelligence are more likely to hold right-wing views, study finds

I would say it wouldn’t hurt but it’s like tossing a hot dog down a hallway; kids will just be more confused and retention will likely be zero; as in how many people are still able to even read cursive writing? Let’s see how this pans out, I guess?
but you know what Arabic numerals are, right?
Here is 1 of them :D
I thought it was referring to the old style ones? I mean I’m not against people learning those, just heh good luck remembering them if you don’t use them everyday. Kinda how I had I can only understand the french in clair obscur expedition 33 but oh boy don’t ask me to write anything in french now lol
The “old style” was Indian Numerals. We have always used and been taught the original style of Arabic Numerals in the modern world.
I see, thanks for clearing that up. Media really works hard to confuse you now. I thought there was no difference and then the Indian numerals came up and I honestly didn’t know what was the actual was going on at that point.
