The reaction would be much the same here in the USA, unfortunately. High school math requirements are being slashed, advanced math is said to be "racist" by some. The opposite is true, of course. I can't think of any other area of study that has had more contributions from every race and ethnicity over many centuries than the umbrella of mathematics.
Edit to add: Firing 3 missiles that individually have a 70% hit rate at a single target would collectively have a 97.3% "at least 1 hit" hit rate, by my 1990's public high school math education calculations.
