The University of Oklahoma wants to hire an assistant professor that has a 'culturally responsive and sustaining mathematics pedagogy.'
Though the listing does not specify a salary, the Glassdoor jobs platform estimates a comparable position at the university earns around $83,000.
The University of Oklahoma is seeking a mathematics education professor versed in “equity and social justice.”
The incumbent will teach within the Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education, which according to the job posting, “aspires to become a diverse and inclusive community of learners who engage in transformative scholarship with and in communities to advance justice and promote human dignity.”
Beyond an understanding of “current theories” in mathematics education, the full-time, tenure-track position must be filled by an individual with “culturally responsive and sustaining mathematics pedagogy” and “mathematics for equity and social justice.”
Based on over 200 anonymously reported salaries, job platform Glassdoor predicts that the average assistant professor in the University of Oklahoma’s education department earns $83,000 per year.
Campus Reform has covered diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in mathematics programs and the STEM field.
In October 2020, the Mathematical Association of America alleged that math “inherently carries human biases" and stated that Critical Race Theory “is an established social science inquiry which is grounded in decades of scholarship.”
Also that fall, Harvard’s Chan School of Public Health shared an article from Popular Mechanics entitled “Why Some People Think 2+2=5… and why they’re right.”
Campus Reform reached out to the University of Oklahoma for more information; this article will be updated accordingly.
“mathematics education professor “
There are professors of mathematics.
And there are Professors of Mathematics Education.
The first is a brilliant individual.
The second is a talking anus.
I look forward to social justice space programs and bridge building projects.
“mathematics pedagogy”
Destructive idiocy - just another sign that the university system is completely broken and off the rails.
Do not support these broken institutions.
“If I have 5 joints and you have 3 joints and we both smoke 2 joints each, how many joints do we have left?”
That sounds harder than Chinese arithmetic!
A certain homogenous nation of Sino people aren’t forcing their math teachers to be less about math and more about “inclusiveness”.
“mathematics pedagogy”
99.99% pegadogy.
0.01% mathematics.
There is a reason these clowns will never go even near actual math.
Of course, they will always have top jobs in the media or as DemocRAT consultants.
I used to think most of this nonsense was to offset the lower test scores of blacks so they wouldn’t feel bad. Now I think it is simply to lower the educational standards of all Americans to that of democrats.
So 2 + 2 will soon = 5, or 4, or 3, or whatever you like depending on whether you are an oppressor cis-normative racist or not.
Yup—this is the kind of “progress” that sends homo sapiens back to caves throwing feces at each other.
That is true according to my personal observations when I was in college some 40 years ago. The intellectually challenged that started with more rigorous majors are forced to change majors as they begin to fail They gravitate to education majors. It was also clear that when morons that couldn't handle Math Ed, they would change their majors to Elementary Ed. That's where the mental midgets really reside.
Always present it as Diversity, Inclusivity, and Equity.
That way the acronym is DIE.
Which is what they want for you and me.
SOMEONE PLEASE explain to me how “mathematics had inherent biases”....
I cannot fathom such & I have done accounting for over 64 years.
In other words, bullshit.
...but assuming 2 + 2 = 4 is white supremacy to begin with.
So the answer is ambiguous.
A women’s engineering firm, yes?
Coming to you from the stupid place that hired Anita Hill.
