Their negative thought currents are a blight on society.

“Math has traditionally been seen as the domain of old, White men,” said the old white communists.

This is outrageous! Folks (of all colors, religions and cultures) have to study, practice and then study some more. Period!

From a link buried in the posted article:

Math has traditionally been seen as the domain of old, White men, and when students cannot identify with mathematics—with role models who have been successful in math or with reasons that math matters to them and their lives—it becomes harder to stay motivated, particularly in secondary mathematics when the content leaves the easy applicability of grocery stores and bank accounts and becomes significantly more abstract.

Idiocy. Numbers do not discriminate. If you do not correctly calculate the escape velocity of your orbital vehicle, the laws of physics and thermodynamics will not give one whit for your gender or race.

Therefore, educators should find ways to relate math to the lives of their students.

"Yo, if Latreetus has ten caps in each mag and he has three mags how many caps he got?"

Not too hard...

Bookmarked. As an example of stupidity and mass cultural depravity in the university system.

Thank God my eldest son (who just happens to be “brown skinned”) was homeschooled. No one ever told him he wasn’t supposed to excel in math.

Instead, he was told that he was expected to excel in math.

Higher standards do work.
