No. Some people are stupid, and can’t handle math. They are dumb. Math is not racist.

Yeah. They drove all their best scientists to the U.S. How'd that work out for the Axis?

Believe me, it’s already infiltrating STEM. And that is scary.

Is she saying black are inferior to whites?

Basically, yes. That's exactly what she's saying.

Learning to read is also racist. As is every other academic pursuit. The government should not participate in this. We need to abolish the public education system.

“The muslins were responsible for the concept of zero”

The muslims are responsible for killing all the people and the culture that created the concept of zero then taking credit for it

So black privilege is bolstered by not teaching math, not doing homework, having babies out of wedlock, and assaulting teachers.

What world is a better one to live in?

Oh and this was just to ridicule the logic, I reject the idiotic premise.

Dear Rochelle Gutierrez:

“White Privilege” put American men on the Moon. What have you one to equal that?

The sad thing is that most here agree with what she’s saying...otherwise they wouldn’t keep sending their kids to be’educated’ by HER STUDENTS, her deciples, in our public schools.

UI defends professor after book chapter draws attention | News ...
www.news-gazette.com › News › Local
Oct 26, 2017 - CHAMPAIGN — A book chapter written by a University of Illinois education professor who contended that mathematics operates as an unearned privilege in society, “just like Whiteness,” is attracting a flurry of attention.

God derived the first function of what has since been discovered as mathematics. Her problem is with Him.

It would also hamstring certain members “of the community” and quotas in government (and private) hiring would always provide them employment despite their communication problems.

“On many levels, mathematics itself operates as whiteness. Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as part of the mathematical community is generally viewed as white,””

Translation: Its bad that people who can actually do math get credit for it. Its also bad that people who can’t do math are not part of the mathematical community.

“In the book Gutierrez points out that mathematics operates as a proxy for intelligence, but asks, “are we really that smart just because we do mathematics?””

Its safe to say the people who can do math are generally smarter than people who CAN’T do math.

“As researchers, are we more deserving of large grants because we focus on mathematics education and not social studies or English?”

Blacks don’t do well in those subjects either.

“If one is not viewed as mathematical, there will always be a sense of inferiority that can be summoned” because the average person won’t necessarily question the role of mathematics in society, she writes. “...there are so many people who “have experienced microaggressions from participating in math classrooms… [where people are] judged by whether they can reason abstractly.”

It is generally accepted that people who are unable to do social studies, english, history, math, etc., are intellectually inferior to those that can. It would be very hard to make a rational argument otherwise.

She also says that addressing equity in mathematics education will come when teachers can understand and negotiate the politics outside the classroom.


Oh that is rich. Forget about Quadratic Equations and focus on the politics of it.

These professor types have too much free time on their hands. She has to write something to get published and keep her job, but this is laughable.
