Expecting math students to get the right answer is now considered to be a form of “white supremacy”

Deconstructing Racism in Mathematics Instruction

White supremacy culture infiltrates math classrooms in everyday teacher actions. Coupled with the beliefs that underlie these actions, they perpetuate educational harm on Black, Latinx, and multilingual students, denying them full access to the world of mathematics.The table below identifies the ways in which white supremacy shows up in math classrooms.

Dismantling white supremacy in math classrooms

We see white supremacy culture show up in the mathematics classroom even as we carry out our professional responsibilities outlined in the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTP). Using CSTPas a framework, we see white supremacy culture in the mathematics classroom can show up when:

• The focus is on getting the “right” answer.

• Independent practice is valued over teamwork or collaboration.

• “Real-world math” is valued over math in the real world.

• Students are tracked (into courses/pathways and within the classroom).

• Participation structures reinforce dominant ways of being.

you probably wanted to refer to elementary/basic math...
The Advanced Math, Further Math, Higher Math, etc have european, western roots (from XVIII-XX centuries)

May all liberals be forced to fly and drive in machinery designed and built by their anti white supremacy idiots.

Be sure to video the crash sites and mark them so we can visit so that we can take bodacious Obamas there.

Eff those idiots and kudos to the STEM profs that correctly determined that the only thing the poor marshmallows could do was go into acting, the media, or politics.

Funny, however, that the blacks I know all have managed to do the math and obtain STEM degrees which are impossible to achieve for the dolts such as those who write and believe such trash.

This crap reminds me of a scene from a movie. These people refuse to admit even “white men” can be correct/right so they ignore logically correct answers/processes/ANYTHING and make up their own reality which is opposite even at the detriment of their own philosophies and well being. Yes, I believe they’d drink poison just to prove that it wasn’t toxic like the “white” scientists said.

Here’s the movie clip that reminds me of them:

It's actually Asian supremacy, but let's not quibble.

I am going to pay my minority employees $100/hr. But on a weekly basis and tell them 40 hours * $100 = $400. If they say it’s supposed to be $4000, I can say it’s subjective. There is no right answer.

Note to self -

A few years from now, don’t get on a plane.
Chances are the engineer who designed it, the pilot flying it, or the air traffic controller all took the “Feel Good” math.

And I’ve had teachers say that “close” is good only for horseshoes and Hand grenades.

Math is colorblind. You are either right or wrong regardless of your level of melanin.

In today’s woke culture, 2+2 doesn’t equal 4 because 2 identifies as 6, and 4 identifies as 3.

Then I guess teachers who even know the “right answer” are “White Supremacists”. Fire them all immediately.

If being smart in math is White Supremecy, if you’re black and not so good, is that black stupidity? Does it also mean that Indians and orientails are White Supremecists?
