In some cities algebra was proposed as an elective-only for high school because maff is hard. The solution was raised to keep kids from failing.

And the parents reacted. They told the school boards to stop dumbing the kids any further.

My 7 year old Chinese American Grand daughter already does division and multiplication and is learning simple algebraic equations She loves math.

Our family expects the children to learn.

Math wasn't invented to keep brown people down.

Math was invented by people who like math, and who enjoy experiencing the thoughts one can think when one knows some math.

It so happens that you can accomplish some pretty useful things when you can think that kind of thoughts, and — if you're lucky and somewhat disciplined — you can make some pretty good money as a result.

Obsessing about the color of your skin won't help you do any of those things. It is not useful. It is a bad habit, and is not a good thing to teach.
