The Oregon Department of Education is promoting a program for teachers that seeks to “disman[tle] racism in mathematics,” alleging that focusing on finding the right answer is a symbol of white supremacy.
Fox News reported that the ODE sent out a newsletter last week that mentions a “Pathway to Math Equity Micro-Course” that will occur on February 21. The course, according to Fox, is designed for middle school teachers to make use of a toolkit for ‘dismantling racism in mathematics.’”
The newsletter encourages teachers to sign up for the training, which the New York Post previously reported includes a section with 14 things associated with “White Supremacy Culture,” including perfectionism, objectivity, and individualism.
Objectivity is described the workbook accompanying the training as “the belief that there is such a thing as being objective or ‘neutral.'” The program’s toolkit also encourages teachers not to focus on a single correct answer, but to “come up with at least two answers that might solve this problem” and to “Challenge standardized test questions by getting the ‘right’ answer, but justify other answers by unpacking the assumptions that are made in the problem.”
The toolkit also asks instructors to “center ethnomathematics” in multiple ways, one of which is to “identify and challenge the ways that math is used to uphold capitalist, imperialist, and racist views.”

Just yesterday in fact. 😁
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have decided to reopen the Toy R Us chain. They going to rename it, We B Toys N Shit😂
Unfair! You added more companies to that list and I didn’t make jokes for them.
Brick-and-mortar K-12 will be used solely for indoctrination into voting Democratic, perfecting skills for service provision and strict obedience of their Superiors, the Elitists.
Now you have something to do for the remainder of the day...
And there are non-blacks subscribing to this black culture as well. It’s not really black culture, it’s actually something else.Yea it's many other things.
One, the one that got whites to vote for Obama, is called white guilt.
Nah I gotta crank up the smoker. Making a couple of pounds of carmelized bacon and beef jerky.
Why don’t these leftist “educators” just come out and say that they think black students are too stupid to learn math? Either that, or that the teachers are too lazy or too stupid to teach it.
I guess this is why we need to import so many Tech workers from India and elsewhere - the left has ruined our schools.
Already in place. 2 + 2 = 5 if that is the group consensus ... check your, it’s already there.
why should we even run public schools?
The Brits ...BTW did this to the Irish in the 1840’s..they prohibited Irish children from being educated-to make them dependent-keep them from rebelling against their English Masters
Same BS going on here
Nor does falling masonry from woke engineering projects.
Feel free to send me the extra...
LOL! That’ll be great for businesses that hire them.
I do not think the man I mentioned was an outlier. I have met too many of them. JMHO.
The reason Africa has remained stifled is that it only recently (in the last 150 years) was introduced to Christianity and ideas of western civilization.
As long as the person being affected is somebody else, school teachers, administrators, and politicians are perfectly fine with going along with this nonsense. The only way to stop it is a stiff jolt of reality.
Here is a short parody video on alternative math that may point to the path of dealing with these persons and their enablers:
