Math is racist!!
She’s probably clueless of the inherent racist and sexist implications of her claim.
Hmmm, seems that academic areas having the word “education” in them contain the least capable people.
Remember, Bill Ayers as a PhD in “eddikashun”. Shows the standards are so low that even this idiot woman got a degree in something. However, it most certainly is NOT real STEM.
Is this an implicit acknowledgement that WHITE guys invented or created math, science and engineering?
Sounds like she is really concerned about the “Yellow Peril”.
Because graduating people as smart as we can make them is racist.
Go ahead...I don’t think many technology corporations are looking for majors in Black History, or basket weaving.
Then, whites get the engineering jobs, and the blacks then yell, yep...”white privilege”.
The last I looked, Chemistry, Physics, Integral Calculus, Statics, Dynamics, Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Unit Operations, and the like did not much care about skin color.
I want the people who build bridges and buildings and power plants and airplanes, etc., to have gone through tough engineering courses. If those engineers wind up being the straight white guys, so be it.
Riley also contends that scientific knowledge itself has a racial bias. “Scientific knowledge itself is gendered, raced, and colonizing,” she claimed, going on to argue it is “inherent masculinist, white, and global North bias…all under a guise of neutrality.”
WTF??
Who let her out of the institution?
The perceived priviledge results from de facto inequality.
The general inequality can be sourced to personal decisions not to put forth the effort required to become equal
And isn't that the very thing that the globalists, One-Worlders, sociologists and liberals in general have vigorously denied for half a century and more?
> rigor “has a historical lineage of being about hardness, stiffness, and erectness; its sexual connotations
I saw this from a different source a couple days ago and assumed it was a parody. This is total insanity.
Just because there is an entire Dark Continent with a billion people who never discovered the wheel is no reason to doubt their ability to engineer nuclear fusion powerplants or interstellar starships.
What in the world is the difference between the School of Engineering (I'm reasonably certain that Purdue still has one.) and the School of Engineering Education?
And bridges. It uphold bridges. Unless she is arguing that gravity works differently for those light in the loafers.
Is this dope a PE? Or just another unqualified diversity hire? God help us either way.
So, how did Purdue University’s School of Engineering Education happen to install a politically-correct but intellectually-challenged leftist idiot like Donna Riley as its ‘head’?
It could not have been by accident - these things do not just ‘happen’.
But if the report is accurate, it appears that with a flick of her ‘pen’ (figuratively speaking, for the purists out there) she has singlehandedly transformed Asian males into “white male heterosexuals”.
Cool...
Oh, for the Sake of Pete. And from the head of Purdue University’s School of Engineering Education???
