It started long before that, but there’s no doubt it accelerated with the creation of the DoEd. Which should be completely eliminated.

The author is completely off the mark here.

Math proficiency in the U.S. should only be tested at the graduate school level. That’s because graduate schools are the LOWEST level of education in the U.S. where the average instructor and the average student are serious about the quality of the education.

I wonder if the establishment is setting up the blacks for failure by reducing their math education, and then send them to college in place of white and asians, where they will be indoctrinated to be resentful and hateful of society.

I read this also; it is absolutely frightening and I can’t refute any of it.

Pro tip: live west of power plants, refineries, and chemical plants.

“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”

One of his famous quotes.

Math is racist. See Fani’s hordes of cash.

Well, when we drop 330k to a university (CSU) to teach biology classes that reject binary teaching of the sexes...
God created one man and one woman, how many genders are there? Or, humans evolved from apes, how many evolved from 2 male monkeys mating and how many STIs did the create in the act? Math is hard.

Just might have something to do with the rest of the world emphasizing math while in the USA math is considered racist.

If the USA starts teaching math, won’t that take time away from teaching kids about pronouns and that men can also get pregnant??
