Alert. Now mathematics has been deemed racist
You can’t make this shit up...
https://www.foxnews.com/us/oregon-ed...hite-supremacy The Oregon Department of Education (ODE)*recently encouraged teachers to register for training that encourages "ethnomathematics" and argues, among other things, that White supremacy manifests itself in the focus on finding the right answer. An ODE newsletter sent last week advertises a Feb. 21 "Pathway to Math Equity Micro-Course,"*which is designed for middle school teachers*to make use of a toolkit for "dismantling racism in mathematics." The event website identifies the event*as a partnership between California's San Mateo County Office of Education, The Education Trust-West*and others.* Part of the toolkit includes a list of ways "white supremacy culture" allegedly "infiltrates math classrooms." Those include*"the focus is on getting the 'right'*answer," students being*"required to 'show their work,'" and other alleged manifestations. "The concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false, and teaching it is even much less so," the document for the "Equitable Math" toolkit reads.*"Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuate objectivity as well as fear of open conflict." ODE Communications Director Marc Siegel confirmed the newsletter to Fox News. He also*defended the "Equitable Math"*educational program, saying it "helps educators learn key tools for engagement, develop strategies to improve equitable outcomes for Black, Latinx, and multilingual students, and join communities of practice." An associated "Dismantling Racism" workbook, linked within the toolkit,*similarly identifies "objectivity" -- described as "the belief that there is such a thing as being objective or ‘neutral'" -- as a characteristic of White supremacy. Instead of focusing on one right answer, the toolkit encourages teachers to "come up with at least two answers that might solve this problem."* It adds: "Challenge standardized test questions by getting the 'right'*answer, but justify other answers by unpacking the assumptions that are made in the problem." It also encourages teachers to "center ethnomathematics," which includes a variety of guidelines. One of them instructs educators to "identify and challenge the ways that math is used to uphold capitalist, imperialist, and racist views." In one section of the "Dismantling Racism" workbook, the argument is made*that "only white people can be racist in our society, because only white people as a group have that power." Another section seems to justify anti-cop sentiments.* |

Sounds like collages instead of turning out educated people ready for the world are turning out idiots ready for their parents basement.

Attention any Oregonians - do you even mildly buy this. Do you buy any of the stuff being shoved down your throats? Where are your voices?

There are people who believe that the public educational system in this country was designed specifically for the purpose of churning out docile worker drones to work in factory and service jobs. These workers don't need the ability to think - in fact, that's counter-productive to their work efficiency.

What did you expect? Oregon is one of the worst school systems in the country and has among the lowest graduation rates.

Oregon is controlled by the ultra liberal metropolises, Portland, and Eugene. They're completely on board with stuff like this. The county I live in votes almost entirely Republican. In fact, most of the state votes Republican, but gets drowned out by the sheer numbers in Portland.

First they dumb down the language
Now the numbers system Its time too combine Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana together and let them have it as their own. Cut ties and no more worrying about White's killing blacks as there will be no interracial interactions as well as no government affiliations to and from. Just what to call it?

I suck at math so this actually works in my favor and frankly, I didn't realize how many racists hung out here. "Oh look at me and my racially superior math and stuff". Pathetic...

So if we adopt "ethnomathematics", can I pay 85,000 pesos for my 2021 C8?
