The American left today is more concerned about "equity" in science and math, than they are about kids mastering the subjects in the first place.


More than 700 educators, engineers and scientists, including winners of the Turing Award in computing and Nobel laureates, have signed an open letter about the future of K-12 math education. They are alarmed by the dangerous trend of woke reform in public schools. Their letter warns this trend will negatively affect students and the U.S. economy in the long run.

America's team for the "International Math Olympiad."

We've won a few times.
 
I just hope they finally stop teaching Arabic numbers and start teaching kids American numbers invented by Jesus

"The old avocations, by which colored men obtained a livelihood, are rapidly, unceasingly and inevitably passing into other hands; every hour sees the black man elbowed out of employment by some newly arrived emigrant, whose hunger and whose color are thought to give him a better title to the place; and so we believe it will continue to be until the last prop is levelled beneath us . . . It is evident, painfully evident to every reflecting mind that the means of living, for colored men, are becoming more and more precarious and limited. Employments and callings, formerly monopolized by us, are so no longer.

White men are becoming house-servants, cooks and stewards on vessels — at hotels. They are becoming porters, stevedores, wood sawyers, hod carriers, brick makers, white washers and barbers, so that the blacks can scarcely find the means of subsistence — a few years ago, and a white barber would have been a curiosity — now their poles stand on every street. Formerly blacks were almost the exclusive coachmen in wealthy families . . .Without the means of living, life is a curse, and leaves us at the mercy of the oppressor to become his debased slaves."5

Funny thing is, there is nothing more equal than math. Aside from some oddball equations and so on all math is equal. It's either right or it's wrong and it's up to each individual person to get it right or wrong.

Math isn't subjective, it isn't opinion, political or anything. Math is just pure math.

Objective truth is racist!
 
Federal legislation has been introduced into The House to legislated the value of Pi to 3 in order to "create equity among ethnically diverse math students".

Factor this: x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0 ... didn't think you could ...

Yeah, Bubba ain't finishing Middle School anytime in the near future, we better throw some algebra at him just to make sure ...
