An upcoming international math conference should be moved outside of the United States of America due to Trump’s “unbridled hatred of immigrants” and because the “country [is] on the verge of martial law,” professors say.
A petition, which reportedly has more than 2,300 signatures from more than 75 countries, demands the International Congress of Mathematicians relocate its planned July conference in Philadelphia. The petition says there is precedent for the action, since the 2022 conference in Russia was relocated due to the war. […]

Common Core?
Well, I’m skipping the conference this year, and that’s that.
I’m old enough to remember when mathematicians did math, not politics.
I they were smarter than that.
“...“unbridled hatred of immigrants”...
And that is an out and out lie. And it’s degenerates like this that are teaching your kids? He should resign just for being a liar.
