An associate dean at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has publicly called former President Donald Trump a racist and co-authored an academic paper suggesting the American education system, and even mathematics, is “inherently violent” toward (b)lack students.
Percival Matthews, associate dean for the Office of the Dean and a professor in the Human Development Area at UW–Madison, shared his views in a series of Facebook posts and academic writings reviewed by Fox News Digital.
In a January 2018 Facebook post, Matthews appeared to label Trump a racist, writing, “What’s on my mind? This: When you get a guy in the ultimate seat of power with a history of racist endeavors who makes not-even-veiled racist comments that a decent portion of the people continue to defend, you’re left wondering what’s left to do.” […]
In a paper co-authored with Pooja Sidney, an associate professor at the University of Kentucky, Matthews claimed that systemic inequities in education leave (b)lack students “shut out” of advanced courses, particularly in mathematics. …

Dyslexia is grossly undiagnosed in black students and very time consuming and expensive to treat.
The only thing “inherently violent” to black students is other blacks. There’s tons of statistics that bear this out.

“Don Lemon is behind Percival Matthews all the way.”
And as often as possible.

😂😂😂😂😂
And Percy LIKES it...
Math is inherently violent to blacks..... what an asinine statement.
Then again, when Tyrel and Javon can count 30 rounds of 9m in their extended magazines for their stolen 9mm’s and empty 60 rounds in their babies Mama Laquentia for stealing their welfare checks and drug stash I could see where he’s coming from. My bad.
Math is “violent”. Uh, OK.
Dude’s a large moron and not fit for education system.
If the price of a stock goes from 10 to 5 it loses 50%. If goes back to 10 it gains 100%. I asked this question to a black woman with a bachelor degree in finance and couldn’t answer why.
Yeah, back in my day I once saw a mob of quadratic equations chasing a poor black boy out of a classroom, those equations be racists I’m a tell you......
“...American education system, and even mathematics, is “inherently violent” toward (b)lack students...”
That’s because you have to work at it....
My alma mater, where I earned a BSEE in the late 60s and an MBA in the 70s has turned to useless shit.
LOL!
You made my day.
“University”, “Professor”....what could possibly be wrong.....LMAO.
And to think parents spend hard-earned money to send lil’ Johnny and lil’ Susie to sit and learn under such morons.....it’s crazy.
White Supervisor: 'The bridge you designed is 4" to short and the capacity is to low! Did you take engineering at University of X?'
Minority Engineer: 'No my major is in Lesbian Underwater Basket Weaving. I didn't do Engineering, because my professor told me that math is RACIST. I got this job because the LIBERAL Female in HR hired me as a DEI hire. If you reject my bridge design, I'll have HR fire you.'
White Supervisor: 'Oh okay. Your plan is great. The bridge won't fall.'
A week after it opens...Headline: Bridge Fall...Cause Unknown...
How can math be racist? Much was invented by Arabs after all. Violent to blacks because you can’t soften the grades—The number’s can’t be made stupid for lazy students of any color.
Maf be hard.
DEI dean.
Percy can’t accept that there is no cure for inequality.
The Human Development Area at UW can’t grasp the fact that you can’t contain ten gallons of education in a fixed size 5 gallon barrel

Well, Percival and Pooja, I already knew that math was “racist” against blacks but I had no idea it was also “inherently violent” toward (b)lack students.” That is a major escalation on math’s part.
Sure, blacks overwhelmingly excel in math classes, but the racist system locks them out of advanced classes, but for some unknown reason is not racist to asians. Okay
