I agree, arithmetic, algebra, and geometry are part of basic numeracy. I think what the author is railing against are the attempts to turn as many people as possible into potential engineers and financiers. Math matters, but trying to turn an entire society into Wall Street and Silicon Valley is a recipe for educational disaster.
