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.”
3 lbs of carmelized bacon. Soaked in maple syrup and brown sugar. 3 lbs of flank steak soaked in coca cola, sweet baby ray’s, and brown sugar. I’ll smoke it for about 4 hours over green oak.

Used to ‘joke’ and say ‘he’ had to drop his pants to count to 21.
Surprised the FEMs didn’t strenuously object to the ability of men to be able to naturally count higher....
How?

And you never know how much the UPS man knows.
About those folks who go around delivering stuff... messages, right answers, good news:
Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Reminds of a song I recently posted.
There’s a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes, another chance he takes
The odds are he won’t live to see tomorrow.

The secret “Asian” man had better keep his calculations under tight wraps!
Remember how the wise men from the east had to skedaddle home by another way? Public transportation? ‘Cause yeah, who’d ever think to check the bus stations.
How far along will this insanity be allowed to proceed before America loses the capacity to build, fly and maintain modern aircraft? To launch satellites into space? To maintain a viable strategic deterrent?
The Russians and Chinese are not probably laughing at us.
They will inherit the earth.
There is no “someone”. It’s you.
There is no cavalry riding to the rescue.
