1. There is no clearer way to put it, nor any way to dispute it.
I was a hard worker, brought up in a religious household, and a math team kid.
None of these are allowed any longer in Democrat controlled government school.
Here is the latest atrocity:
2. "California Weighs ‘Equitable Math’: Goal of Obtaining Correct Answer Is Racist
The California education department is considering implementing a statewide math framework that promotes the concept that working to figure out a correct answer in math is an example of racism and white supremacy invading the classroom.
3. “White supremacy culture infiltrates math classrooms in everyday teacher actions,” the document states. “Coupled with the beliefs that underlie these actions, they perpetuate educational harm on Black, Latinx, and multilingual students, denying them full access to the world of mathematics.”
The proposed California framework provides examples of how “white supremacy culture” has infiltrated math classes in schools:
-
The focus is on getting the “right” answer.
-
Independent practice is valued over teamwork or collaboration.
-
“Real-world math” is valued over math in the real world.
-
Students are tracked (into courses/pathways and within the classroom).
-
Participation structures reinforce dominant ways of being.
4. Additionally, the document asserts the means by which teachers assess student learning in math is based on white supremacy culture, as demonstrated by:
-
Students are required to “show their work.”
-
Grading practices are focused on lack of knowledge.
-
Language acquisition is equated with mathematical proficiency.
5. The concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false, and teaching it is even much less so. Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuate objectivity [sic] as well as fear of open conflict [sic]."
California is considering a math framework that asserts the goal of getting a correct answer in math is an example of racism.
