Rick Pomeroy, lecturer/supervisor for the science teaching credential program in the School of Education and president of the California Science Teachers Association, wrote this piece on Governor Brown’s proposal to end the mandate that requires a second year of science for high school graduation. “As a way to fix a dysfunctional budget process, this makes absolutely no sense,” writes Pomeroy.
