Teacher says that ' the ability to solve geometry and algebra problems and teaching such subjects perpetuates so-called white privilege'.

This is the latest load of BS on our education system. If you can't do math it's ok because only white priveledge students are expected to do well. Math is racist

No, the ability to read cursive does.

Many leftists can only survive in academia because their ideas have zero application or use in the real-world, and most important, they are fed a constant stream of money from government money and massive student debt

Did I miss something or is this nitwit saying that white people are smarter than other kinds of people?

I'm sure I don't understand what she's trying to say.

The insanity and racism of liberalism is beyond words....
Is he basically saying that blacks are too stupid to learn math? He may be right in many cases due to death brought on by liberalism. Liberalism destroys everything it touches...everything, including the black race itself.
Liberalism is the Borg of this century.

Well, then, quit your job, stupid.

NO. Certain people have trouble with maff and anything that requires abstract thought. Certain other people ace it - Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc.
So Whitey is in the middle. Not the best, and not the worst. Is Whitey the victim of “oriental” privilege? eh?

Ridiculous. This is just a way of covering up the fact that certain highly-privileged members of victim groups can’t do maff, and fail. So they blame the failure, as always, on Whitey.

No, you stop teaching those subjects to white people so they're as equally stupid as everyone else...

You only need to count to one.

As in: “Did I get my One welfare payment this month?”

Don't want to start a new thread. Here is more predominately white privilege - massive student loan debt and how if you reach a certain point which varies, you never get out from under it. Coast to Coast last night will have a link there.

I had no idea.

Not disagreeing with you, I’m just glad mine are through the “educational system” at this point.

The teacher needs to check their racism and watch Hidden Figures.
