Read this article for starters

That is what I thought and now we have confirmation.  High school calculus is generally more common in Red States compared to Blue States, as Red States have implemented reforms that have improved educational outcomes, including access to advanced math courses like calculus. In contrast, Blue States have seen declines in math scores and may have less emphasis on advanced math courses due to emphasis on educational equity of outcome.[/quote]

True.

California and other west coast states have (not surprisingly) lead the way on reducing advanced math in public school.  This article from The Atlantic provides some background: California limited Algebra to 9th grade and not before.

Stop repeating debunked 2 year old talking points.

That was a PROPOSAL that was modified to clarify that Calculus would not be prevented.
The Framework recommends developing Algebra 1 content in Prealgebra and Algebra 1 class, instead of rushing to an "Algebra 2" class that spends half the year repeating Algebra 1.

What California is proposing, rigorous Algebra in 9th instead of watered down Algebra in 8th, is exactly what the academically top private schools like Philips Academy do.
