Math Is racist and 2+2 = 4 is just a ‘trope’

Laurie Rubel, a professor of math education at New York’s Brooklyn College, does not appear to be fond of the discipline she teaches. In fact, she apparently believes math is inherently racist. She recently tweeted, “the idea that math (or data) is culturally neutral or in any way objective is a MYTH.” In a separate tweet she noted that math “reeks of white supremacist patriarchy” after stating, albeit incoherently, “along with the ‘of course math is neutral because 2 + 2 = 4 trope’ are the related (and creepy) ‘math is pure’ and ‘protect math.’”

Appearing drunk on her own peerless wokeness, she added, “I’d rather think on nurturing people & protecting the planet (with math in service of them goals).” Well, maybe just drunk.

What an amazing social justice warrior! What a flawless person! She’d rather “think on” nurturing people! And protecting the planet! Not that she’d actually do anything in furtherance of her stated goals. It is enough that she has stated them. And she wants to take that racist (and no doubt misogynistic, homophobic, and Islamophobic) math and use it “in service of them goals.” It’s a good thing she isn’t an English teacher. Though, to be fair, Ms. Rubel may believe English is at least as racist as math is. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be a better instructor. Or Barney Rubble.

Seemingly every week another professor claims math, data, facts, good behavior, competence, proper hygiene, discipline, a work ethic, speaking ability, or another such basic building block of a successful society is prima facie evidence of the white supremacist patriarchy’s evil and unwarranted hold on American society. (How racist is that?) Yet, Rubel’s assertion that 2+2=4 is a “trope” still boggles the mind.

Then she's a racist to the nth degree since she's a professor of math education and has been teaching math.

She needs to get cancelled from her job asap.

So, among other things, the left believes that people of color are not smart enough to know how to get a photo ID, and are not smart enough to handle math.

Want to bet she has cats, and wouldn’t touch a man under any circumstances?

You are wrong.

Everyone knows that,

2 (base 10) + 2 (base 10) = 100 (base 2)

[Pikachu_Dad]

Ya blooming idiot, that is wrong

Everyone knows that

2 (base 10) + 2 (base 10) = 11 (base 3)

[Pikachu_Dad]

Are you a complete moron?

Everyone knows that

2 (base 10) + 2 (base 10) = 10 (base 4)

… darn it, last one.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Well, we may be out of bases, but what about vector math?

2i + 2j = 2.828 @ 45 degree angle…

Then there is always the biological aspect…

2 young men and 2 young women (rabbits may be a better example) will quickly make a huge population.

If it has the word “education” in it, the possessor is - quite simply - a dumbass.

Bump!

She needs to read

The story of the colored women that helped the US space program with their mathematical skills.

Who’s on first?

Who.
