“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.
Proponents of “math equity” also stress the importance of social justice issues such as race, diversity and gender in math education — a trend that’s catching on.
More professors and educators are tweeting under the hashtag #MathEquity to share strategies on the topic, and webinars and other pedagogical sessions on it abound.

Not Trending: Educators work to indoctrinate impressionable young minds into blatant racism.
Fixed it.
Homeschool your kids!
Move that chalk hard and the blackboard screeches in pain.
Problem with this question is an AK-47 uses a magazine, not a clip.
“Ramon has an AK-47 with a 30-round clip.”
For a question to be unbiased and fair it must be predicated in factual accuracy.
Oh, you can be sure there are boatloads of people in politics and academia who will TRY to politicize it. But what comes out at the end of their meddling ain’t going to be math.
Whiteness in math. 1 + 1 = 2.
People of colorness in math. 1 + 1 = whaff you mean? dat be to hard fo me!
The left has destroyed everything else it touched, so no surprise it is destroying a science where there is no room for opinion, and which is based on pure, indisputable logic.
Educators are trying to prove that whiteness is inferior and that is the classic definition of RACISM.

What The Heck? Are they saying they have to dumb down math for minorities? Sure sounds like it- Aint that in and of itself racist?
“Racist” has been redefined as “Anyone who disagrees with liberal orthodoxy”
Remember Rush used to say “words have meanings”?
Well no more. At least not the onese in the dictionary. Words mean whatever the Left says they mean Because they are better and smarter than we are.
Notice how many quotes are from “minority’ names?
All the more reason to BAN ALL IMMGRATION All this Fup system is doing is allowing more ungrateful, unAmerican immigrants or their progeny to spew more ignorant, racist, hateful garbage, especially against white people.
Get rid of these bastards
Lets hope that these idiots don’t get jobs where public safety is a risk. For example: design an new passenger jet or designing a new bridge.
Math and the understanding of the same is absolutely necessary for certain jobs otherwise people will be injured or die.
Clip is the proper term in ghetto speak
Only a true racist would see race in math.
“These people are too stupid to still be classified as homo sapiens”
They would have to look that one up...
I would like to think that this was a joke but I know they are serious. Sigh!!!
“Now, WTH are the liberal idiots talking about???”
“...racism, whiteness in math...”
Reminding you that certain areas didn’t “invent math” as others did.
Obviously Greeks, and many areas around that part of the ancient world ‘got’ math..also writing,building libraries etc.
Many areas did NOT do such— Indians in North America,
aboriginals in Australia, sub-saharan Africans..all labored along without the WHEEL...for examlpe.
Think the idiots you speak of are secret white supremacists ?
That’s racist....Oh wait. Never mind.
Maths be hard.
How do they teach math in a place such as Gambia, which is 99% black? Is there a different method?
