Why are they always screwing with Math? Even when I was in school a hundred years ago. We had “new” math. I mean it’s a rhetorical question. They want our kids to be as dumb as possible so the left can take over this once great country.
My 6th grade math teacher was asked to try a new math book with us. This was in the early '60s. He complied for a week or two then basically said "enough of that" and went back to teaching in the traditional way. What a relief.
Many liberals sit through liberal arts programs where there is no absolute right or wrong answer, from philosophy to English to history. The idea that there is only ONE answer, and that there is a direct, logical and ideal way to get the ONE right answer is anathema when you think all ways and interpretations are equally valid.
So they apply muddied analysis and debate methods to math, for which it doesn’t work.
