Our society is going insane.

There was an old saying back in the day, “Those that the gods wish destroy, they first make insane “

According to the toolkit, one of the ways to achieve this goal is by “visibilizing the toxic characteristics of white supremacy culture with respect to math.” The alleged “toxic characteristics” include, among many others, focusing on getting the right answer, students being required to show their work, and teachers “treating mistakes as problems by equating them with wrongness.”

“Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuate objectivity as well as fear of open conflict,” the toolkit states in reference to setting the focus on getting the right answer. 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.”

I watched a documentary today that confirms how much we have seen, and will now see how much of Western civilization has been and will be taken over by the Left. I watched it on Prime video, but , the film is most likely available online somewhere. I encourage you to watch, the well-made documentary.

SHORT SYNOPSIS

The Fight of Our Lives: Defeating the Ideological War Against the West, Greenfield’s fourth hard-hitting documentary, examines the anti-Western ideas and movements penetrating academia, society, culture, and politics.

“The threshold I.Q. level for a diagnosis of mental retardation has been progressively lowered over the years, in part because of awareness of the damaging social prejudice suffered by those labeled “retarded.” In 1959, the American Association on Mental Deficiency set 85 as the I.Q. below which a person was considered to be retarded.In 1992, the renamed American Association on Mental Retardation lowered the mental retardation “ceiling” to an I.Q. of 70-75,but many mental health specialists argue that people with I.Q.s of up to 80 may also have mental retardation. Flexibility in the I.Q. standard is important because tests given at different times may show slight variations due to differences in the tests and because of testing error — the standard error measurement on I.Q. tests is generally three to five points.”

This stupidity angers me to no end. We will never lead in scientific and technology fields, engineers, accounting, builders, even plumbers and chefs need to know some math.

I used to get my granddaughter after school and help her with her homework. She was in kindergarten, and was off on a addition ptoblem. She said it was ok because she was close. I told her that in math you’re right or wrong, and close doesn’t cut it. I drilled that in to her, and math is her best subject now. Who knew I was developing a racist?

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!

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.

...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

“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.
