Because some people grow up in a home environment that holds back their mental development, the rest of the people have to suffer.

Democrats always cut people back to the lowest common denominator, making the majority fail.

How about this:

64916 = 3

11257 = 0

65527 = 1

39326 = 2

Gates is a hypocrit. Let’s see his reaction when his accountants tell him there is no correct answer to his bank account balance and to try to determine it would be racist

Wow! They’re too stupid to understand that that is a powerful argument IN FAVOR OF white supremacy!

The soft destructive bigotry of low expectations.


The idea that it is racist to require a minority to get the right answer and to show how the answer is determined is racism at its worst. It rests on the belief that a minority does not have the intellectual capacity to understand the complexities of math. This same patronizing assumption undergirds the Progressive belief that minorities are incapable of obtaining a photo identification and thus none should be required to enable them to vote. So, who are the real racists among us?

"I have always considered anyone that cannot master mathematics up to calculus in high school to be either low-IQ’d or lazy. "

Let's not forget bad teachers. My kids always had A's until they had this particular calculus teacher. My kids got lost fast. We hired a tutor and they got back on the path fast. The tutor told us that she made a pile of money off kids that were assigned that particular teacher.

That was up to calc, not including. I get the bad teacher part. I had one in high school for two straight years. I basically had to teach myself and work with classmates in study groups. That teacher had no business being a teacher.

‘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.’

No reason to read more of this dumb crap to continue to destroy America! Dems, left, deep state, nobama, soros, gates, covid lovers, socialists, commies - all the same - they are the enemies of what was once the USA! We no longer live in a free civilized country - that was their goal 0 to kill it - to CHEAT the 80 million out of the President we actually chose from being President again - TRUMP and they did commit treason!

Both Gates and Biden constantly lecture us about white supremacy, yet neither white man walks away from the supreme position that enables him to lecture us.

"Let's not forget bad teachers. "

Sometimes it is just bad luck...I went to school in a VERY rural part of South Louisiana. The local school was totally oriented to kids that were going to stay local and farm. Highest math was a bit of descriptive geometry. The math teacher was good, the curriculum just wasn't suited to a guy like me.

Despite the above background, I went to LSU and got a PhD in chemistry. Making up the math deficit was probably the hardest part of my "college journey", and took a LOT of extra work and study that kids who went to college prep schools had already done (maths through first calculus).
