A Missouri school district’s math assignment is mind-boggling
American Thinker ^ | 18 Apr, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

Christina Pushaw, Governor Ron DeSantis’s press secretary, is an extremely effective communicator. For example, on Saturday, Pushaw managed to cut through the smog of lies that Democrats use to claim that they’re not teaching Critical Race Theory (“CRT”) in America’s schools. She did this by publishing incredibly foul, race-based math homework that is on the curriculum in Missouri public schools.

Every since conservative Americans discovered, mostly thanks to the Zoom classrooms that Fauci’s lockdowns forced on America’s schools, that their children are being taught Critical Race Theory precepts (Blacks are victims; Whites are evil), Democrats have been denying that CRT exists in schools. They must because, as Glenn Youngkin’s election victory in Virginia showed, parents, both Black and White, don’t like having their children taught such an awful message.

Ron DeSantis is fighting the toxic material leftists are inserting into children’s education, whether it’s the fiction of transgenderism or CRT. On Saturday, a Democrat Florida State Representative sounded a hysterical note about the changes DeSantis is making:

SNIP

Pushaw challenged this hysteria with a series of tweets showing the kind of race-based math that some teachers are inserting into their classrooms. Although the math problems in the first tweet appear to be something a KKK teacher would push on his acolytes, they are actually questions intended to force upon students the details of Maya Angelou’s life, all in a CRT framework:

For those looking for examples of how CRT could be incorporated into math text books.

When Pushaw got pushback from people claiming the assignment was fake, she followed up with the entire page of the schoolwork, along with a letter from Mark S. Penny (who has an Ed.D., just like Jill Biden’s), the school superintendent, apologizing for the material’s inclusion in the classroom.

The apology is not enough. Whoever was responsible needs to be identified and fired. This will not stop until those pushing it are removed.

For extra credit, please draw a diagram of the "Hot Crazy Matrix" and plot coordinates dividing the Danger zone from the Fun zone.

I shouldn't even joke about this because this is sick stuff being taught in public school classrooms.

The Lincoln County R-III School District Board members, superintendent, principal, and teachers who selected, authorized and/or used these woketardian materials should resign, and any teacher licenses revoked.

Any leftist propaganda from the Clark Creative Education LLC should only be used as emergency toilet paper, like this woketardian example:

Fired isn’t enough. Until some of these teachers are made exaMples of and their lives completely destroyed, it won’t stop. Loss of teaching certificate, loss of pension, and jail time would be good starters.

I have never seen a math test with word problems that had nothing to do with math.

This isn’t math.

It’s indoctrination.

Cleverly constructed 'math' problem clearly illustrates the motive.

One need not know any math to answer the question, just some details of the abuse suffered by certain minority persons.

Surprised there isn't one about how many seconds it took George Floyd to die of a fentanyl overdose - I mean die from police brutality.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

It is crazy and insane but the “hot crazy matrix” might actually be a good thing to teach some young men might learn what to stay away from which will save them tons of money and heartache later in life when they fall for the hot serial killer

This is taking on a real nightmare quality.

Utter madness.

I want to see the actual people who write these curricula.

This is beyond bad. The answer to both of those questions is “all of the above.” If you’re going to teach woke math, at least teach it properly.

The left is truly perverted. They have taken something that is unrelated to politics, math, and turned it into an instrument for teaching perversity.
