Educators around the country have come out to condemn a 'Dismantling Racism in Mathematics' program which tells teachers not to push students to find the correct answers to math problems because doing so promotes white supremacy.
The program is centered around a workbook for teachers entitled 'A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction' which asserts that America's education system – even mathematics instruction – reinforces the dominant power structures of white colonizers.
Grading students, asking them to show their work, requiring participation and even pushing them to get the right answer are depicted in the workbook as harmful to minorities.
The workbook was created by Oakland, California-based advocacy group The Education Trust-West under its 'Dismantling Racism in Mathematics Instruction' initiative, which is funded through a $1million grant from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

So 2+2 can be whatever you want it to be.
not about being white. its what works.
If a few bridges collapse - it’s mo’ money in yo’ pocket!
Because nothing is more White Supremacist than being correct. 🙄
What do you expect from someone whose company created the Blue Screen of Death?
Wait until these “educated” kids become nuclear power plant operators.....
oops!
Democrats seem to feel that black people are incapable of finding the right answer.
Democrats don’t want black people to feel bad for being stupid.
Democrats have decided that there are no right answers to anything.
Republicans, on the other hand, just tell everyone to keep working hard until you find the right answer.
We’re racist like that.
Of course, none of these people claim math is racist when someone is counting their change.
Remember Gates is not a scientist or a mathematician. He is a coder. You can make 2+2 whatever you want. So long as the game sells there is no right or wrong answer.
Gates reminds me of another wacko that committed the mass suicide in Guyana.
Like him, Gates is a left wing activist.
WTF.
Where is it racist to teach someone to seek the correct answer.
2 + 2 = 4
Skin color don’t have a Damn think to do with it.
So what is the line that cannot be crossed between lying and kissing up to the Leftists and the Truth?
The correct answer in math HAS to be established. Otherwise how can genuine scientists work with Super String Theory, studies of the origins of the universe and life, research into propulsion and weapon systems in defense projects, energy systems, astronomy, chemistry, medical advances and medical technology and imaging devices and much more. Not “sort of right, in a way, for a person like you, considering what your people have put up with in history.” Right or wrong.
Don’t worry, Gates has thousands of H1B visa holders from India and elsewhere to do the STEM jobs Americans won’t be able to do.
So, how are the gang bangers going to count their stash?
Iran and China have them now. Look out!
We’ll see how amused the IRS is about this nonsense...do these idiots do their taxes this way?
Count two of something for each finger and one for each toe. Shoes off but worth it to get it right.
