An education professor delivered a lecture in early January at a major mathematician meeting that described college math as “white” and “cisheteropatriarchal.”
“Undergraduate Mathematics Education as a White, Cisheteropatriarchal Space and Opportunities for Structural Disruption to Advance Queer of Color Justice” was the full title of the lecture given by Luis Leyva, associate professor of mathematics education at the Peabody College of Education and Human Development at Vanderbilt University.
Leyva delivered the lecture Jan. 4 in Boston at the Joint Mathematics Meetings 2023. The summit is the “largest mathematics gathering in the world,” according to its website.
“Cisheteropatriarchal” is a term in ethnic studies referring to “a system of male, straight, conforming-to-assigned sex system power,” teacher and curriculum designer R. Tolteka Cuauhtin told the Los Angeles Times in a 2019 article.
Leyva’s “findings depict[ed] how Black, Latin*, and Asian QT [queer and transgender] students’ narratives of experience reflect forms of intersectionality, or instances of oppression and resistance,” according to his lecture’s abstract.
The Fix left Leyva a voicemail asking for a comment or brief interview on the lecture via email or phone call. His email address was not publicly available. Leyva did not return the call.

Yes. Luis can trash arithmetic, trigonometry, geometry, algebra, calculus, matrices, and differential equations. Why would he want to use those “evilmalepersonofpallorcisheteropatriarchal” constructs? Start from scratch, Luis, and re-create everything just how you like it. While you are at it, throw out all engineering works developed over the past 2,000 years, too, because they are all based on those maths you hate.
One thing we can be absolutely certain of is that future brilliant mathematicians will NOT be saying “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of Leyva.”
What a mental midget.
On a date in 1973 ...
“Sorry Pete but you’re so square.”
“Does that mean I’m dumped?”
On a date in 2023 ...
“Sorry Pete but you’re so cis-hetero-patriarchal-normative.”
“Wait, I’m what? Just because I offered to pay the whole tab? Well maybe I just dodged another bullet.”
what is this word salad bull sh$t
How bout doing some non “White” math on that racist, Woke #s pension
So I guess I was helping to smash white supremacy when I insisted in school that 2+2 was 22!
they should be charged with the Hate crimes they’ve manufactured
“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of Leyva.”
LOLOL...
Mathmatics is a pure science. What do race and sexual orientation have to do with 2+2=4 or the Pythagorean Theorem? Other than spewing idiocies like white patriarchy or cis hetero BS, let these so called academics defend their ideas in academic debate. Simple answer they cannot provide any rational arguements and will just scream their slogans. The universities would put up with or even encourage this crap demonstrates that academics are becoming extinct in this country.
He’s in the School of Education. Math Dept. is in College of Arts and Sciences. No relation.
This explains why the Chinese are better at math than Americans, yes professor?
That explains a lot. He’s a real mental midget who cannot do anything worthwhile in life.
It was a truly international thing that developed over @3000 years.
Lots of people and lots of cultures had a hand in it, every one giving a step up to others.
Babylonians, Greeks, Indians, Arabs, Persians, Italians, Frenchmen, Germans, Sir Isaac Newton - All of them had a hand in what’s in the Middle School Algebra textbook.
Thank you, Mister Logic.
Looks like the Babylon Bee has competition.
The sound of it is something quite atrocious.
Call it anything you want. But 1+1=2 is the same for any race or gender.
Thank you! I try.
What’s really interesting to me is that there is no obvious contribution to the basics of mathematics, as we currently understand it internationally, from China.
The Chinese had a great deal of clever stuff. They had really sophisticated methods of numeric calculation for instance - the abacus ain’t half of it. They had their own takes on what we should call algebra, and way more advanced matters, some of it several centuries ahead of the rest of the world. They certainly could do the work.
But none of that seems to have leaked through to the international intellectual world, and we know of it now only through historical research.
In cisheteropatriarchal math, division is banned because we strive to unite, not divide each other.
In cisheteropatriarchal math, odd numbers are being bullied and should be eliminated.
In cisheteropatriarchal math, powers should be eliminated because it comes from white supremacy.
In cisheteropatriarchal math, roots should be eliminated because it is cultural appropriation.
In cisheteropatriarchal math, squares should be eliminated because it is shaming.
In cisheteropatriarchal math, acute angles should be eliminated because everyone is beautiful.
In cisheteropatriarchal math, commutative laws equal the playing field in our justice system.
In cisheteropatriarchal math, distributive laws are social justice.
In cisheteropatriarchal math, associative laws are elitist and should be banned.
In cisheteropatriarchal math, limits should be banned because everyone should be encouraged to reach their full potential.
In cisheteropatriarchal math, unions and intersectionality are perfectly fine. Minus is forbidden, however, unless under $950 is taken away from the set.
In cisheteropatriarchal math, inequalities are banned. Nobody is less than or greater than another. Only equal outcomes are acceptable.

I am really getting tired of Heterophobes!
