All students deserve powerful mathematics; we reject ideas of natural gifts and talents," reads a bulletpoint in chapter one of the framework. "The belief that 'I treat everyone the same' is insufficient: Active efforts in mathematics teaching are required in order to counter the cultural forces that have led to and continue to perpetuate current inequities."
The entire second chapter of the framework is about connecting math to social justice concepts like bias and racism:

I got hung up on “Prove that a unique minimax estimator is admissible.” It had something to do with lim inf over a sup over theta. Yeah, that was statistics, but there were similar proofs on the math side.
California will be turning out the students that Boeing, Delta, Coca Cola, and United want to hire.
THIS.
That’s a good on...wish I’d thought of it!
I think Richard Feynman, or Georg Reimann were smarter than me.
Yet we had many here crying that their kids couldn’t get their indoctrination during Covid. Demanded their awesome public schools open. It was twilight zone around here.
Why do they have accelerated classes then?
Great. Those of us who are good at math can make even more bucks.

It’s not our problem that some folks can’t SEE magnetic field around wires carrying current, some folks don’t worry about eigenvalues escaping the unit circle, and some sure can’t handle integration by parts. Glad Oliver Heaviside did not go to these “screw-alls” formerly called schools.
“Diana Moon Glamper” — LOL. I had to look her up. That is indeed perfect!
this will result in reducing the number of kids getting into the STEM fields
which impacts our national defense
yet another step to weaken America
that wears thin pretty quick
at some point, people will exercise their first amendment right and protest government taxation
What would Satan do?
I, at times, get excoriated by people here on my views about education. Despite the fact that it is my field.
It does not matter how nice, Christian or devoted the teacher is. It isn’t even the pedagogy or curriculum, though that is also problematic. It is educational philosophy behind the system. American schools think they are using John Dewey, when in fact, they are basing their educational philosophy on Herbert Spenser, Abraham Maslow (Who has been shown to be wrong every time his theories are tested), John Locke (Also wrong) and Martin Heidegger who was a card carrying NAZI.
Until the educational philosophy behind the curriculum changes public schools are evil.
“The National Security Agency is the largest employer of mathematicians in the U.S.”
Math is hard. It’s harder if you’re stupid.
China and Russia will reward its math geniuses.
We will viciously attack our math geniuses.
China and Russia will explode with new technology.
We will degrade into the stone age.
This is not complicated....
In the decadent phase of Western Civilisation, all standards are lowered.
Virginia is looking into not offering advanced mathematics courses too.
“its a single rotation about a vector defined in the quaternion. Thats all it is”
Right, simple for you to “get”, but not to most people. That’s where the subjective difficulty of mathematics lies. Objectively, if we were all computers, it would all be equally simple, but we are not computers.
