Gallagher bill would strip high schools of core subjects
A radical bill proposed in the legislature would limit high school curricula to city schools of 10 000 population or more, dropping agriculture, domestic science, physics, chemistry, manual training, ancient history and bookkeeping, and require college admissions by exam only. Critics warn it would degrade most schools and shift burden to wealthier communities.
