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.”

Is the the Babylon Bee? It has to be the Babylon Bee.

You would think so...I’ve been hearing this nonsense for a while now. Apparently it isn’t just math - it’s science in general that is racist. There’s a belief, by those that don’t understand science, that as most scientists are not black that it must be racist. There must be ‘alternate science’ that would emerge if done by blacks. Current science only reflects non-black thinking.

This is where ‘equality of outcome’ is going. You can’t fake it with science, so it must be attacked. One day our computers won’t work, space programs will fail, etc. because they’re supposed to work with ‘alternate math’. So now 2+2 may equal 5.

It’s madness, brought to you by black people whom are becoming more and more racist themselves. They also teach children.
