Right. If the premise is true then why do we hire so many mathemeticians from India and China?

Why would people who don’t want to learn to read, write and speak English want to learn a second language like math?

Old white men. I was a young white boy when I learned math quite well.

Someone once said that math is the language of the universe.

Osler taught Radical Math along-side Cathy Wilkerson, a former member of the Weather Underground Organization (with Bill Ayers) who once participated in a plot to detonate a nail bomb at a dance for military personnel at Fort Dix.

What's with all these Weather Underground characters winding up teaching in the public schools? Time was when there was a character clause in a teacher's contract.

Really now? Perhaps this why white men get successful engineering jobs. Meanwhile, everyone else gets womyn’s studies degrees and gets nowhere in life. Then they whine about the lack of diversity in engineer/math based jobs. What do they expect when they put out nonsense like this.

Old white men cured polio. And wiped out smallpox.

But that doesn’t fit their script, does it?

Let’s try an example problem...

If Michael Brown stole one package of Swisher Sweets a week,
how much time would pass if Michael Brown was only able to abuse and threaten 12 Korean shop keepers...

We’re going to have culturally sensitive math? “If a 7/11 gets knocked over, how many bros get rounded up for questioning vs. white folk? That’s right, you can’t divide by zero.” Or “If you take 2 Jews, 3 Christians, and 10 Muslims, how many heads do you chop off?”

Bree-Anda has two babies and no baby daddy. She collects $200 for each baby from welfare. How much will she collect when she has another baby without a baby daddy?

That’s how they should teach it.
