The Seattle school district is planning to infuse all K-12 math classes with ethnic-studies questions that encourage students to explore how math has been “appropriated” by Western culture and used in systems of power and oppression, a controversial move that puts the district at the forefront of a movement to “rehumanize” math
The district’s proposed framework outlines strands of discussion that teachers should incorporate into their classes. One leads students into exploring math’s roots “in the ancient histories of people and empires of color.” Another asks how math and science have been used to oppress and marginalize people of color, and who holds power in a math classroom.
I pity the kids who have to try and graduate college after going through this nonsense. They are going to need to take corrective courses because of this untested political experiment.
Thinking that math is racist is one thing... But actually going around and telling people that is what you think... That is some next level stupid right there...
