Since moonbattery is a totalitarian ideology, nothing escapes from its poisonous lies — not even mathematics. Teachers unsure how to pass off indoctrination in race-based Marxism (a.k.a. "social justice") as a math class can find resources to assist them at Radical Math:
There are at least two related ideas behind "Social Justice Math". The first is that you can use mathematics to teach and learn about issues of social and economic justice. The second is that you can learn math through the study of social justice issues…. A subspecies of Social Justice Math is "Ethnomathematics," defined as:
The study and celebration of mathematical practices from various countries and cultures from both historical and contemporary perspectives, including: symbolic systems, spatial designs, games and puzzles, calculation methods, measurement in time and space, architecture and design, problem solving, etc. With all this important material to cover, it's no surprise if teachers don't get around to boring stuff like multiplication tables.
The Math Skills & Social Justice Topics Chart offers concrete suggestions for dressing up moonbat propaganda as math. For example:
Comparing how money spent on military operations could be used to support other important causes (ex: if a bomb costs $10 million and a it costs $10,000 to provide health care for an entire family for a year, how many families could get health care for the cost of this bomb).

Here’s a tax hike I can support... impose a minimum 100% federal tax on any money transfer to a foreign country if the sender cannot prove that he is in the country legally.
In order for this Dem poison to work, the average kid IQ would have to be below 70. It isn’t. My grandkids tell me about this crap, then laugh at it and the teachers involved. It is the mentally handicapped kids who fall for this stuff. Talk about taking advantage of the handicapped. However, since they are the least likely to be employable after graduation, they rarely hold jobs in which they would be able to actually effect the real business world except through the extortion and gangsterism we see every day from them. Find an SEIU rent-a-mob and you will find a percentage of the dumb way above what a randon sample of adults should hold.
The money spent on one $10 Million bomb COULD purchase $10,000 per year health insurance for 1,000 families.
With that said, it is unlikely the families will live to enjoy their health insurance coverage since the federal government will be unable to defend them from the invasion by marauding, totalitarian hordes who will take over the country within a few months of congress converting our bombs in to health insurance.
And, of course, there is the fact that while Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution of the United States of America grants congress the power to pay for bombs, there simply IS no Article, Section, Amendment or Clause in that document which grants them the power to pay for health insurance or anyone.
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like commissar-speak?
“...FOR anyone.”
Sorry about that.
Remember, half of the people have below average intelligence.
