The Educational Scarlet A: American

Eric, I very much appreciate your above comment and agree with it completely: there is nothing wrong with the criteria by which he was selected. The focus of the commentary was not that it is bad to use U.S. citizenship as a criteria for selection of people for certain classes of positions. It is that if the teaching criteria, especially in Math, for traditional schools is dumbed down any more in the U.S., very few people educated here will be available to fill the positions for which U.S. citizens are required. From what we have seen, not even most private schools provide the level of rigor required to function effectively at the highest levels of academia in the most difficult areas of Math and Physics.

And, by the way, we take the admonition in John 7:24 very seriously. There has to be judgment.
