(Houston – 4/8/21) Intrigued by a new math program called “A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction” (Link above), being developed by the University of Oregon, an anonymous NASA official said they are looking forward to hiring graduates of this program for future engineering slots. In a statement released today, the official said:
“We find this new program especially intriguing because in NASA's history, we've been focused on making sure our engineers are especially proficient in what we're coming to realize, is a white oriented, racist math focus, which requires the correct answer to complex problems while also requiring how the correct answer was arrived at”.
“Developing a program which focuses on “opportunities for ongoing self-reflection as they seek to develop an anti-racist math practice” will allow us to see math in a new way which should help us in our engineering future featuring manned space flights to Mars and beyond”.
“We think this will add needed diversity to our engineering departments and who knows, maybe their new way of doing things will be better even without the correct answer being arrived at”.
Other unnamed government departments are also interested in more information about this new and exciting breakthrough.

This has got to be satire!
The last man who understood all of math, died 75 years ago.
He was from another dimension.
It’s not like it’s “rocket science”.
This is a joke, right ?
Exact calculations are needed in lift, trajectory, orbit, etc.
We’re going to have rockets falling all over the U.S.
accepting 2+2=3.67 will work no better
than putting in cm for inches did.
In the UK, ‘Pathway’ is the term they use when they decide a person is too old to deserve medical treatment, so they simply say “sorry, there’s nothing we can do”, even though that’s not usually the case.
Seems to apply here too.
Babylon Bee level good stuff.
The sad thing is that given the almost non-existent intellect of the left, it’s becoming believable.
But, it does give a false hope to those who live at the absolute bottom of the math ability ladder: the media, congress critters, and left wing NEA members.
Back to Muslim Outreach-ish.
Unbelievable.
NASA seems obsessed with projecting an image of itself that they believe is appealing to juveniles. What are they recruiting for again? /s
Nope, not satire. My kids had this math 25 years ago. I think it was set up that way so the kid’s parents couldn’t help them. Remember “Rain Forest Math”
It’s again changed so my kids can’t help my grand kids.
The correct answer will not give you the right answer in today’s math.
They're not at decimals yet but they know that 2+2=22
Yeah. Like I’d want to be the first astronaut to ride in anything created from this line of “instruction.”
More opportunities for destructive projects
It is against the rules of Freerepublic to post satire and not label it as such. Just a heads up before the moderators see this.
Obama nearly destroyed NASA by turning it into a political propaganda machine. I am sure Biden will go down the same toilet.
I saw a Dept of Army advertisement for an Operations Research Analyst. The principal qualification was at least 24 hours of college level mathematics including calculus. The advertisement was restricted to the mentally handicapped.
NASA died along time ago !
