Here's the working list of claims.

K-12 Math Ethnic Studies Framework

Who is a Mathematician?

Where does Power and Oppression show up in our math experiences?

How has math been used to resist and liberate people and communities of color from oppression?

In what ways does mathematical literacy impact how we think?

So many questions. So few answers.

"The choco ration will be increased from 30 to 20 grams per week."

The idea that "math is racist" will insure that the above statement is true to the helots.

This abrogation of basic logic will make the Left easier to defeat. Never interrupt your enemy in the middle of a mistake.

[Flick Lives]

I blame the Babylonians for inventing racist math.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The committee suggests that math is subjective and racist, saying under one section, “Who gets to say if an answer is right,” and under another, “how is math manipulated to allow inequality and oppression to persist?”

Load, Capacity Calculation Errors, Inadequate Peer Review Led to Pedestrian Bridge Collapse

​WASHINGTON (Oct. 22, 2019) — The National Transportation Safety Board determined, during a public board meeting held Tuesday, that load and capacity calculation errors made by FIGG Bridge Engineers, Inc., are the probable cause of the fatal, March 15, 2018, Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapse in Miami.

Contributing to the collapse was Louis Berger’s inadequate peer review, which failed to detect FIGG’s calculation errors in its design of the main span truss member 11/12 nodal region and connection to the bridge deck. The FIGG engineer of record’s failure to identify the significance of structural cracking observed in this node before the collapse, and failure to obtain an independent peer review of the remedial plan to address the cracking, further contributed to the collapse.

"Who gets to say?"

In the end, the bridge, building, power plant, refinery, airplane, train, road, etc get to say. As well as all the dead people.

How will a sane nation ever repulse the incredible stupidity and ignorance of these idiots who want to send us back 3,000 years?

Another example of the mischief that comes out of “Colleges of Education”!

Disband these colleges & end the .Ed degree!
If you want to teach get a degree in a real discipline. (note: “fill-in-the-blank” studies degrees don’t qualify!)
Require 1 year of supervised teaching and then your a teacher.

“Western Mathematics”- So what do we do with those Arab numerals?

[Billthedrill]

I’d credit those claims a little more if I even suspected the people making them could...do math.

[Texas Eagle]

I think I just solved all the world's problems.

If there was no such thing as math, there'd be no such thing as racism.

If there was no such thing as math, there'd be no way to calculate whether or not the Earth is warming.

Therefore, ban math and racism and Global Warming will disappear!

Woo hoo! You're welcome, Earth!

Now, where'd I leave muh beer?

It’s not a math thread without this, Ma and Pa Kettle do math,

Math its origins are commerce!

Capitalism Baby!

The above is a fascinating book to read !

[Mariner]

The kicker is, these people don’t really believe math is inherently racist.

They have adopted this position to further their aims of Social Revolution. Because they know the people who will be most incensed by the concept are those too stupid to know it’s BS.

[Chewbarkah]

It’s been a while, but my sharp memory recalls that in very integrated schools, exactly ONE black student (a young woman named Bernadette) was in a math class, from 8th grade on. Are we to believe that this was because the school system did not allow minority students to take Algebra, etc.?

Public schools “oppress” minority children if they do not require them to master basic skills such as arithmetic before leaving elementary school, then mathematics at appropriate ages.

[CrappieLuck]

Math is just numbers

What could possibly be racist about (9-4.5 = fo fiddy)

[RetiredTexasVet]

The city should be sued to stop them from using the terms schools and teachers.

[SkyDancer]

Maybe after all this being dumb is racist.

[Robert357]

You have to be absolutely kidding!

“......Furthermore, under this criteria students will analyze the ways in which “ancient mathematical knowledge has been appropriated by Western culture,” and “identify how math has been and continues to be used to oppress and marginalize people and communities of color.”.......”

So if modern manufacturing techniques require statistical quality control..............these idiots want to make sure the US citizens will not be able to compete in a global market. Like that is going to help raise living standards among communities of color.

Do they realize that much of modern mathematics is really from Arab origins? We use Arabic numbers not Roman Numerals, right?

This is such utter rubbish.

Seattle has been Africanized

Robert Mugabe would be proud

[mjp]

Mathematics is not racist because it is based on reality. Like every other science, mathematics applies to reality because it is derived from our observations or reality. It is a valid objective conceptualization of facts, which are ultimately reducible to observed similarities and differences.

[okie 54]

That is because they need to teach math to Leroy as how many dime bags in a gram. If he sells crack at $10 a hit how much can he make in a day. That is all it take to get the brother to the head of the class
