I am not saying that everybody is like me - but I think one example in this case is enough to show that the suggested way of getting rid of maths education is not the right thing for everybody. That's actually also maths: one counter-example is enough to disprove an assumption.

It seems especially dangerous to me as anti-maths types might dominate in politics and therefore might find the idea especially appealing.

Maybe it then boils down to the bigger question if talented people should be dragged down to the average levels of achievement.
