Now MATH is racist: Educators condemn $1M 'Dismantling Racism in Mathematics' program funded by Bill Gates which tells teachers NOT to push students to find the correct answer because it promotes white supremacy

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.

I heard these arguments when I was in grade school in the 60s and 70s.

I also heard that standardized tests were racist, because if the question were "what goes with cup" and the correct answer was "saucer," that was racist because poor black children didn't have saucers, and might choose "table" to go with cup instead.

What about cars? The people who design them, make them and service them? Will new automobiles just randomly send their drivers careening off the road?

I’m glad my parents who both served in WWII are not witnessing this idiocy. A nation created by God to evangelize the world is rapidly turning into an also-ran third rate country.

Actually from what I’ve heard he’s also a crook and a cheater (and on his wife). He stole the coding to create his first operating system.

If only white people can be expected to get the right answer in math, then I guess that means they are superior.

We’ll see how amused the IRS is about this nonsense...do these idiots do their taxes this way?

Christian church groups, pro-life groups, conservative political groups, Trump supporters (MyPillow): Strict, precise and used as a weapon against the taxpayers.

BLM, Dem Party, disadvantaged persons requiring reparations, "progressives" (socialists): Close enough. Pretty close, actually. Acceptable.

You're talking about BLM and the Dem Party now. Notice the low carbon footprint. Pretty impressive.

And one wonders........ why there was no civilization worth a damn in sub Saharan Africa prior to colonization by Europeans?

One wonders why Africa is called the Dark continent and black people eschew that description.

Now, the Africanization of America imports the darkness, the inferiority and ignorance endemic to sub Saharan Africa.

One wonders what commies do when change is returned to them.

Do they just accept that it is correct, or do they guess and
accuse the person giving them change, of committing a crime?

“Why yes Mrs. Sasquatch, we did write you up for an $81.723
car that had a window sticker price of $33,475. There was
tax and licensing.”

“Oh, okay. Just checking.”

“No problem. Did you want to dd that $7,439.76 spare set
of wipers?”

“Oh, okay. Thank you. Such good service!”

This is great news and should be used during tax audits. Just tell the IRS that you were never pushed to find the correct answer and they should just accept what you provided. Hell, you should get a tax refund even if your not eligible just for filing and participating in the system. Oh wait, that all ready happens with Earned Income Tax Credits. Screw all of these people!

Pathetic. I have always considered anyone that cannot master mathematics up to calculus in high school to be either low-IQ’d or lazy. In other words, weak. This math program, just like leftist indoctrination, is designed to make people weak. We can have a strong America with a weak people.

Don’t forget to identify as a black transvestite.

If the IRS questions your woke claims, remind the IRS that they are fascist, racist and sexist.

This is racism of the most demeaning sort. Treating black students as if they were dumb brute pets.

change?....What change? Every thing is paid for via plastic debit cards...they don't know what's in the account until the card is refused.

Change be for chumps.

When somebody is paying cash with $50 and $100 bills, odds are good they are illegals.
