Is two plus two five? It could be…unless you’re racist.
That idea is being bandied about, amid a social justice analysis of mathematics.
Oddly, such a campaign is being supported by none other than Bill Gates.
As reported by Campus Reform, the Gates Foundation has contributed $1 million to local governments and major universities in order inject “antiracism” into math.
The effort is called “A Pathway to Equitable Instruction.”
From the official website:
A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction is an integrated approach to mathematics that centers Black, Latinx, and Multilingual students in grades 6-8, addresses barriers to math equity, and aligns instruction to grade-level priority standards. The Pathway offers guidance and resources for educators to use now as they plan their curriculum, while also offering opportunities for ongoing self-reflection as they seek to develop an anti-racist math practice. The toolkit “strides” serve as multiple on-ramps for educators as they navigate the individual and collective journey from equity to antiracism.
If you’re unaware, per CNN, antiracism razes the following “microaggressions“:
- “Don’t blame me. I never owned slaves.”
- “All lives matter.”
- “We’re all one human race/big happy family.”
- “I’m colorblind; I don’t care if you’re white, black, yellow, green or purple.”
Those used to be un-racist, but they’re the opposite of anti-racist.
UCLA Law Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw offers more:
“Antiracism is the active dismantling of systems, privileges, and everyday practices that reinforce and normalize the contemporary dimensions of white dominance. This, of course, also involves a critical understanding of the history of whiteness in America.”
How do you do that with math?
A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction thinks it knows.

Well,according to Barbie math is hard.She must have meant racist.
I’ll wager that these vacant parasites know that 2+2=4 when their monthly SSDI check comes.
Only Republican Asians can stay.
With all due respect, that's not up to you. You can't deport US citizens, regardless of what their politics are.
True but maybe Trump can make AOC czarina of Puerto Rico in 2025...
It seems that the real answer for “socialization” is to allow “teachers” to have sex with students and to allow white students to be assaulted by nonwhites.
Yes, the challenges from “society” are: What about socialism ? What about the prom?
Odd worries, aren’t they?
Doodle, you crack me up, bro. I can always count on you to use any opportunity to slam "The Boss". Kudos.
PS. "Hungry Heart" is absolutely the worst song known to mankind. It is enough to make me question the existence of God
