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.

Would the math “education” professor prefer mediocrity, since lower standards are more “fair”? That should work wonders in a highly competitive world.

Revenge of the self-hating, pasty-white nerd. I doubt that her current position has much, if anything to do with meritocracy.

The headline is inaccurate. This is a math education professor, not a math professor. Another specimen illustrating the fecklessness of schools of education in our “higher indoctrination institutions”.
