An interesting piece about Hillary Clinton’s history of supporting Stem (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) curricula:
Mathematics and sciences (or what we call ‘Stem’ today) were of particular importance to Clinton. In a 1983 interview with the Associated Press, she remarked, while suggesting that Arkansas had overemphasized athletics, ‘I think it’s time for getting a little fanatic about math and sciences.’ Stem is the foundation of today’s technology industry, and only a handful of pioneers in the public education space had the foresight to appreciate its value for future members of the workforce. By far the most significant impact Hillary Clinton’s educational reforms had in my life was through her work to create a free public boarding school for math-and-science nerds like me: The Arkansas School for Mathematics and Sciences (ASMS).

President Barack Obama, speaking in Durham, New Hampshire to a raucous crowd of Hillary Clinton supporters, lauded the people organizing Hillary Clinton’s “get-out-the-vote” efforts, before telling the audience that they have one more day before they change the country.
“This is, I think, gonna be my last big event,” Obama said, to “awws.” “I mean, we’ve got one in Philly, but Michelle’s talking there, so I’m not gonna get any attention,” Obama continued, to laughter.
“We’ve got one more day, and we can choose the politics of blame and divisiveness and resentment, or you can choose the politics that says we’re stronger together,” Obama said.
“We were living through two long wars, the worst economic crisis in eighty years, but because of the American people— we turned the page. Our businesses have turned job losses into 15.5m new jobs. Incomes and wages are up, and poverty is down,” Obama said.
