A math education professor at Brooklyn College contends in a recent academic article that “meritocracy” in math classes is a “tool of whiteness.”

Laurie Rubel implicates both meritocracy and “color-blindness” as ideological precepts that hold back racial minorities from succeeding in math classes in an article for the peer-reviewed Journal of Mathematics Education.

The NBA and NFL are pure meritocracies; the best are hired and play regardless of background. I don’t hear her bitching about that!

"You expect this sort of crap in sociology, the arts and other "soft" subjects, but MATH--just damn!"

It's NOT math. It's how to, supposedly, TEACH math.

Education majors are the softest of soft degrees. They are the ones whose fontanelle never closed, and they keep pressing on it because they like the pretty colors...

I guess the requirement that college professors have an IQ over 37 has been waived.

This professor is merely starting that white people are generally more intelligent than certain other people of “colour”.

I notice this Everytime I watch basketball and football games. Why do these colleges tolerate such a lack of diversity??

It is Bigotry to believe that minorities are not capable of competing.

With a math problem you either get the right answer or you don’t.

How does race inter into that?

[CurlyDave]

Does that set off your “gaydar”?

This is the academic equivalent of a ‘Rollex ‘ watch. Scaled counterfeit.

[jmcenanly]

That should be ‘ a clear counterfeit ‘.

[arthurus]

That is obvious since non white people have no merit in the estimation of the leftists who push this drivel.

Does this “math professor” understand the term Standard Deviation?

[GingisK]

Why, sure! It is easily possible to land men on the moon without math.

I went to see The Last Jedi two weeks ago. Bought some popcorn and a drink, the kid behind the counter rang it up and said $4.80. I gave him a five, he punched it into the register and told me I owed him 20 cents.
