Placing into a remedial math does not mean he doesn't know the subject. He could just be a bad test taker, had lots of test anxiety, or did not receive accommodations for a disability.
Regardless, no one should be faulted for that. if someone has already taken math then they should not have to take it again. What are college credits good for if you cannot use them?
