Don’t underestimate how stupid most people are.

Why not name it “The Training Program for Students to Become Dumb*sses and Fail on the World Stage.”

There is no racism in mathematics. It’s thinking about, and working with, NUMBERS.

Green’s Theorem will be front and center. They won’t know why, but certainly is all to do about the planet!

Instead, teachers are recommended to have students “come up with at least two answers” that might solve the problem, and challenge standardized test questions by justifying other answers other than the right one by “unpacking the assumptions that are made in the problem.”

Well, certain quadratic equations do have two answers, one of which can be negative. If the dimension of the variable is time, we may have to 'unpack' our assumption that negative time is not recognized. Now, if you think that my statement is meaningless, you may have to 'unpack' your assumption that it was meant to be anything else.

I bet when it comes to their paychecks, math suddenly becomes a matter of accuracy again 🤔

...In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense

OMG! New way: hand then calculators, designer for peiple who don’t b understand how to do math.

I suppose now 2+2 = fo.

“treating mistakes as ‘wrongness’ is racist”

Get real. Math is science in one of its purest forms. Learning math develops critical thinking more than any other science and other sciences are foundational in math. From the curve of an arch to the dosing of a cancer drug.

Math originated with The Creator and with Neanderthals leaving handprints and game drawings on walls to denote population. And was picked up in turn by Hebrews, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Mayans, Pacific Islanders, Eskimos and Europeans, and spread across the civilized world. Except for those nations too intent on multi-century warring against themselves to bother with civilizational cooperation and advancement, which cannot occur without math. People that hate on civilizations that are successful, are just trying to find a means to excuse civilizations that never, in 1000 years, managed to get it together because they hated on math and education in general.

People that hate on math, are maliciously destroying the employment prospects of their students. And that’s a crime against humanity.

Racism in mathematics is like racism in dog food, makes no sense but lets claim it

The University of Oregon are graduating a fresh batch of Engineers. If you do not hire them your a White Supremacist.
