Something called the "K–12 Math Ethnic Studies Framework," created by a Seattle Public Schools "Ethnic Studies Advisory Committee," is intended to instruct students that math is intimately connected to racial oppression

Thanks!

The best teacher I had in High School was my math teacher [Mrs.Cunningham, Cocoa High, Fla., 1962]. If she had taught Art, I would have been an artist. I think you know where I'm going with this. Luck of the draw in my "impressionable period". Thank you Mrs.C, wherever you are, for my 35-year career in engineering and technology!

Most white kids will still do fine because either start going to private or charter schools in droves and there will be some home schooling.

Mine did just fine in public schools with a good dose of Judeo-Christian conservatism and common sense daily at home.

If I had to do it again nowadays, I'd lean towards private schooling.

The future we’re headed for has been made into a documentary called “Idiocracy.”

I’m still trying to figure out how Common Core math prepares one for accounting or engineering.

The progressive left cannot exist in a world with universal constants. Black/white, right/wrong, good/evil are completely foreign to their psyche...... Everything is grey and constantly evolving.

That is why Math by definition is antithetical to their reality....Physics as well. Mathematics has rules and absolutes which are alien and therefor inconceivable to the Progressive liberal life philosophy.

True science cannot coexist on an equal footing with within a progressive/liberal culture. One must assume subservience to the other and it is brazenly illustrated in this article which direction we and the world as a whole are headed.

The relentless pursuit of the acceptance of Anthropogenic global warming is just one example of this phenomenon actively occurring.

Yeah but the scene where they are factoring poly’s with multiple case methods felt like a Quinton Tarantino movie!

... Wait until they figure out the numbers we use for it are Arabic.

Arabic Numerals actually originated in India in the 6th or 7th century and were introduced to Europe through the writings of Middle Eastern mathematicians

That might be harder. Our numbers are called "arabic", but were actually invented in India and the arabs appropriated them.

It’s hard to do math with an 85 IQ.

"Would minorities truly be better off — less oppressed, as it were — without the staggering advances people like Archimedes, Ptolemy, Pythagoras, Euclid, Descartes, Einstein, and Alan Turing made possible?"

Of course. Obviously what they were thinking all along was: "Ha! I'll be this will disenfranchise those minorities!"

“...Africanized America needs no math beyond ten fingers and ten toes...”
Now, we can see why they ran around the jungle in loin cloths chucking spears at each other without any realistic creation or improvement in their way of life....for centuries!!!!
Looks like they want to push everyone into that “way of life”.
Insane, idiotic morons are the three words the best come to mind.
Anyone that would let a child sit under and become “educated” these fools should be charged with child abuse.

The people making these idiotic racial connections are no doubt math illiterates, who most likely never got past fractions.

The people that can count can make things happen, the people that can’t are pretty worthless. It ain’t a black, white, green or purple thing. Math is a language, it takes practice and there is only one right answer. So work at it and you will get better.
