The draft also suggested that math should not be colorblind and that teachers could use lessons to explore social justice

Jaquantia hooked all Thursday night. She gave 12 men skulljobs for $13.54 each, laid down 2 others at $56.12, and robbed a crackhead of $112.39. She spend $200 at her crack dealer. How much did she end up with?

> would de-emphasize calculus <

Good idea. Unless a person is going into engineering or physics, calculus really isn’t needed. I’d instead emphasize algebra, as it provides training in logical thinking if nothing else.

> reject the idea that some children are naturally gifted <

Horrible idea. If a school can offer varsity sports, it should also offer varsity (honors) academics.

Lots of reasons why some students excel in math, including natural ability, family support and willingness of the students to do the work. The only rational approach to the issue is to reward achievement regardless of the demographic irrelevancies.

Bill Clinton had “No Child Left Behind”.

Joe Biden and Gavin Newsome have “No Child Gets Ahead”.

Math is White/racist and must be eliminated.

Grading is racist. Achievement is racist. Merit is racist. Civilization is racist.

To those who don’t think there is a connection to math skill and civilization, just examine the areas of the world and how they compare to construction of bridges, cities, highways. Note that in the advanced areas wherein math is (or was) essential part of education, they have cities made of steel, glass, cement and go upward. Bridges made of steel designed to be strong and some artistically pleasant and highways that endure travel by many thousands of vehicles per hour some baring heavy loads. Meanwhile in the less math infused cultures what does one find: Bridges made of hemp, cities made of
one story concrete blocks or reeds, and highways that are used by animals as game trails.

Some people can do math, some can bounce a ball. Others can freestyle rap.

Social justice always means taking from competent hard workers and giving to the slovenly.

Eventually, when all these attempts fail to produce the desired outcome, they will try to modify genes directly in an effort to create “equal” people.

My son was placed in a TAG (talented and gifted) math program in public school. It took them a year to recognize it and when he entered the high school math class in eighth grade, the seniors beat him up everyday.

After a few years, the public school ran out of math classes to challenge him, so he transferred to the local community college in his junior year and finished high school with dual college credits. The high school pressured him so hard to stay in high school, all about the money.

America had better pray that some of its best children reach their full potential, somehow.

The Bell curve is a cold, hard reality. Cutting off the upper end just so that some deranged “educators” can poke at healing sores condemns everyone to live with less than even the average.
