“Math equity” doesn’t mean 1 + 1 = 2.
The term refers to the growing insistence among educators that teaching math in the classroom comes with some inherently biased methodology that must be addressed.

Math for the masses
Pointless species is pointless.
Math is math.
It is the most neutral subject imaginable.
It adds up or it doesn’t.
EVERYTHING’S RACIST
EVERYBODY’S RACIST
Yet somehow they stay

Ramon has an AK-47 with a 30-round clip. He usually misses 6 out of every 10 shots and he uses 13 rounds per drive-by shooting. How many drive-by shootings can Ramon attempt before he has to steal enough ammunition and reload?
Leroy has 2 ounces of cocaine. If he sells an 8 ball to Antonio for $320 and 2 grams to Juan for $85 per gram, what is the street value of the rest of his hold?
Dwayne pimps 3 ho’s. If the price is $85 per trick, how many tricks per day must each ho turn to support Dwayne’s $500 per day crack habit?

These people are too stupid to still be classified as homo sapiens
“...racism, whiteness in math...”
???????????????????????????????
Now, WTH are the liberal idiots talking about???
Everyone knows that math is not a zero sum game.
After: 2 'n 2 be fo.
So, ‘blackboard’ are out. White marker boards are out as well?
You stare at the abyss and the abyss stares back.
They are trying to distract attention from the fact that they don’t know their math.
Absolute psychobabble.
Getting past the point where parents need to go over EVERYTHING their kids are getting taught in school and refute it with logic, rationale and the right way of things.
Have to teach your kids to “Nod and Grin”, get the passing grade to get through, and then undo the damage, at home.
arithmetic first - then maybe math - definitely not maths!
Teach ‘em how to multiply and divide by 28.35
Using white chalk to oppress a blackboard.
More racism.
Math sucks
Racism sucks
Therefore mathematicians are racist and they suck.
That’s exactly what I did with my son.
He’s one of the few 20 somethings that I know that isn’t totally screwed up thinking men can be women and that their own exhalations are a dangerous pollutant.
