Woke Math In Seattle
American Conservative ^ | 9/30/2019 | Rod Dreher

Posted on 10/01/2019 8:18:49 AM PDT by RightGeek

In the future, historians will look back upon the suicide of our civilization and will see this poison for what it is. In Seattle, the city’s public schools have decided that everything, even mathematics, has to be seen through the lens of oppression and racism. Below are actual screenshots from the guidelines for math education there:



Read the whole thing here.

The young people who are going to learn real math are those whose parents can afford to put them in private schools. The public school kids of all races are going to get dumber and dumber … and this is going to compel the wokesters in charge of Human Resources at institutions along life’s way to demand changing standards to fit political goals. Eventually, bridges are going to start falling down. That too will be the fault of Whiteness.

BS pushed by a dimwitted Spaniard in Illinois?

Hilarious

Maybe her “graduates” can work at Boeing, fix up the software on the AOA sensor. Stability and Control from a Marxist viewpoint! Should work out great. The term “negative static margin” will take on new political meaning!

Wow, “people of color” invented math. I guess the wheel was a bridge too far.

And what’s with “oppressive mathematics”? They are still telling them it is better to take a stab at it than to actually determine the correct solution. After all, who says what is right?

Where is there hope for the future raising children to believe this nonsense?

The important thing is that you have maintained your self-esteem, not actually learned anything about math!

“Below are actual screenshots from the guidelines for math education there:”

Not quite

The screenshots are for a social studies course about math.

The actual math curriculum for high school in Seattle is here and covers the usual algebra,geometry and calculus

From the very first summary point:

“Origins, Identity and Agency . . . is the ways . . .”

Forget about the bogus pedagogy and silly sociological philosophy, whatever happened to fundamental principles of grammar? Are they going to promote this crap using Ebonics?

Our Secretary of Education needs to start earning her salary by speaking out against this nonsense.

In the future? Hey! We're looking back upon the suicide of our nation .. right now! We killed America in the 60s and 70s. That's about the time we substituted the religion of humanism for Christianity. We were a Christian nation.

But in the 60s, our faith became "It's your thing. Do what you want to do."

If there were a deliberate conspiracy to destroy the ability of the US to produce engineers and scientists, what would they do differently?

Need to get real Americans voted onto school boards across the country to stop this crap.
