If you are black 2 + 2 = 5 is an acceptable answer.

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

Ah, she isn't actually a math professor, but an education professor. Her position in the college appears superfluous.

Sounds like a bunch of intellectual bla-bla for “don’t make me try to teach math to black kids.”

Well, then fire him and give his job to a homeless minority.

He’ll have to be happy that his assertion is being taken seriously and being acted on!

These people that make things up out of thin air, why do they still have jobs in the academic community?

Idiocracy is the totalitarian strategy of the traitorous Left.

Well, 2 + 2 does equal 5, for very large values of 2...

It amazes me that "professors" can constantly preach that non-whites are incompetent.

Laurie Rubel implicates both meritocracy and “color-blindness” as ideological precepts that hold back racial minorities from succeeding in math classes

Tell that to the Asians, who kick everybody's a$$3$ in math.

The reality of what she is saying, is that some races aren't as smart or motivated as others and need to be coddled.

Acceptable answer if you are white too at some schools, common core math.

Would you fly in a plane that was designed by someone who flunked engineering in college?

You say that like it’s a bad thing - which it isn’t Laurie.

A professor too stupid to understand just how racist her beliefs are.

Math is considered to be sort of a universal language. Basic principles would be the same across the universe.

Now we’re supposed to think there are neighborhoods in our own nation, where math is different.

The intellectual decay in this nation is astounding.

The culture in the movie Ideocracy is supposed to exist in 500 years from now, I believe. Someone can correct me on that if need be.

The point is, it’s beginning to look like it could take place in ten to twenty years universally across our nation, and in pockets of it right now.

Back in the 70s and 80s, Brooklyn College was regarded as a pretty good school. I walked through the campus in about 10 years ago (after the open enrollment types got hold of it) and it looked like a war zone.

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts."

Works for multiculturalism as well.

As Al Gore once said when bloviating about the phrase "E pluribus unum," "Out of one, many."

This is actually a WHITE SUPREMACIST argument —

“If the world were a meritocracy, then all the people at the top would be White (and Asian, certainly) and all the people at the bottom would be Black.”

Think about that. People on the Left hold that view and the only way to hold that view is to believe that Whites are inherently superior to Blacks.

It’s an awful way to look at the world. It’s pure racism.

an article for the peer-reviewed Journal of Mathematics Education.

Peer reviewed indicates that there are other "academics" who read and approved this drivel for publication. That is so sad. You expect this sort of crap in sociology, the arts and other "soft" subjects, but MATH--just damn!

“Meritocracy is a ‘tool of whiteness,’ claims math professor”

That’s why diversity is such an important factor in hiring. Because the person most highly “qualified” is usually a white guy.

And 2 + 2 = 5 has predictable results every time...
