My favorite line in the article!

"Examples of classroom actions that allegedly perpetuate white supremacy include asking students to show their work, focusing on getting the right answer, tracking student success, and grading students."


This is either satire or the left is more mentally ill than ever before imagined. Aren't leftists the ones who came up with Common Core? Isn't Common Core all about showing your work from start to finish?

Ya ya ya. The word "racist" is now so watered down that it's almost meaningless. Nothing to see here folks, move on!

I sure wish someone would have told my high school math teachers that there is too much emphasis on getting the right answer and in fact there is no right answe! Would have done wonders for my GPA!

And when dumbass liberals' buildings and bridges start collapsing on their stupid heads, their planes start falling out of the sky, their utilities shut down, their nuclear power plants melt down, etc, maybe they will see the lunacy and error of their nonsense. But, I'd doubt it. It will somehow be blamed on racism.

Why are liberals so intent on ushering in an Idiocracy, where a brain damaged goat is smarter than anyone in society?

no surprise here. Oregon has always had lousy schools. They have a long history of not valuing education.

Yes. Racism in mathematics is a joke. Funny as it may seem, there is a sad part to it: many people believe in it.... Thats no joke.

They tout themselves as "Progressive" but I gotta say,...this seems regressive AF.

Drag people down instead of lifting them up.

Getting the right answer is not racist. Getting the right answer is progress for humanity.

This ridiculousness thinking will result in fewer racist rockets leaving
the earth's atmosphere while non racist rockets explode on the launchpad. ( Sarcasm )

Think....Deep Think.....
There will still be rockets and bridges and quantum computing. It will just be fewer and fewer American kids in charge. Seems to be how progressive educators want it to be, but who can figure out why?
