Science has been infiltrated by Politics. While it has always influenced Science, the Climate Activist movement changed everything as well as the loss of morals in America.
People list fake publications, people fake data, people fake Statistics and Statistical methods, everything for ‘success’. The new generation believes that this is the way, and so many have got to their goals this way. Like Steroids use by athletes in the 70’s and 80’s, it eliminated the ‘honest’ people from having a chance. You can’t survive unless your dirty too.
Making crazy decisions, that are potentially very harmful to society and the young, based upon fake science and data, is extremely damaging. Let the buyer beware.
Wokery?
The desire for “equity” is an abomination. Instead of raising black achievement, she seeks to sabotage white kids.
I’m not seeing what guessing the number of dots has to do with 8th grade algebra.
Did the study compare dot guessing ability of adults who learned algebra versus those who didn’t?
I guess asking them to solve for a y-intercept or factor a polynomial wouldn’t tell us anything. Count dots instead.
perfect guy to do the engineering calcs for the new bridge replacing the one formerly known as the “Francis Scott Key” bridge but will receive a new name. maybe go with a foreign sounding name like “The Futurefallin bridge” or maybe “the waterbound expressway bridge”. woke math will make either appropriate.
Second, they want to drop grades in K-12 schools because it shows the unwillingness of students to learn.
Third, the want to drop advanced placement programs and "gifted student" schools because it highlights the groups of students who are not.
Fourth, they want to drop secondary math and science classes from the 9-12 curriculum because it shows how far behind the proficiency curve American students have fallen.
Fifth, they want to drop high achievement awards because the wrong students are winning them.
Sixth, they want to drop the SAT and other college admissions requirement because American students are no longer qualified to attend.
I'm not surprised to find that the academics who recommended all these things have falsified their credentials all along the way.

This is the deliberate destruction of America.
Parents are paying for this? They should sue the school.
Why not just abolish the public schools? They are useless.
somebody could save a lot of money shutting down a liberal nonsense factory right there
I was never a math major, but I had great teachers who made what appeared to be complex, simple. Later I was teaching GED in English and Spanish. I became quite good at teaching basic math through algebra. I then taught math at several middle schools. (Yes, middle school. Those few years where all the hormones start making kids crazy.) I just loved it. Between my regular classes, and a M-F 2 hour after school tutoring center I also manned, almost every student became competent with equations. I realize that the real math majors might disagree with what I am about to relate, but it worked. Once a student became competent at solving for x (or y, or n) in a simple equation, the rules and methods for solving are applied to more complex equations. One of the many joys was getting students to always return to the method. At first, some students would not believe. But after enough encouragement and practice, they succeeded.
One of the other joys was teaching struggling kids who had not been taught that they too could succeed.
I got good grades in high school.
I started taking night classes in Accounting at age 29.
I got 4.0 in every Accounting class available at my local Community College.
Didn’t have much of a social life-—but was able to leave the TIME CLOCK under someone else’s direction to be self employed at age 40.
Last client retired 2 years ago. I did his books for over 53 years, starting before I took the classes.
