Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Behind ‘Anti-Racist’ Math Push
Liberal education collective claims asking students to show work is racist
A radical new push to purge math curricula of allegedly racist practices like showing your work and finding the correct answer is bankrolled by one of the nation's most prominent nonprofits: the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The Gates Foundation is the only donor mentioned on the homepage of A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction, a group of 25 education organizations whose curriculum states that asking students to show their work and find the right answer is an inherently racist practice.
Over the past decade, the Gates Foundation has given upward of $140 million to some of the groups behind Pathway, whose antiracist resources are the basis for a new teacher training course offered by the Oregon Department of Education.
The Education Trust, a California-based group that promoted the September release of Pathway's antiracist "toolkit," has received $86 million from the Gates Foundation, including a $3.6 million grant awarded in June.
Teach Plus, another group dedicated to creating an antiracist culture in K-12 schools, has received more than $27 million from the Gates Foundation. The group's board members include former Democratic congressman George Miller and Obama-era secretary of education John King Jr.—who is also the president of The Education Trust.

Cuomo must be concerned now that NYC companies have staff working remotely from their home states of NJ and CT; while under agreements they are subject to NY income tax (because the employer is in NYC), some must be able to change those employees to NJ/CT employees if they have any offices there.
Ghetto drug dealers can figure grams of substances and the going price @ $/gram to the penny. Don’t tell me they can’t do math!
Which led to an exit tax if you dare to sell out and move!
I don’t think the “exit tax” is real; as I understand it, it is an estimate of owed taxes and you get back whatever wasn’t owed.
The exit tax is based on the value of property you sell when you leave; if you buy another Jersey property it is waived. So sell & leave = tax.
I’d just as soon keep mine and rent it out, if we leave. But I’m ten blocks from the beach and a quarter mile from a river and marina; I’d be unlikely to afford that kind of location elsewhere.
What the hell happened to following the science, some answers are right and some are wrong???
Deep State.
It doesn’t like it when people can think and think for themselves.
Stupid is far easier to rule.
2+2=5. That’s math, right? It’s Orwell’s 1984.
