Overall, we rate the Strategic Culture Foundation (SCF) a Questionable source based on extreme right-wing bias, promotion of Russian propaganda and conspiracy theories as well as a complete lack of transparency with the goal to deceive readers. This is not a credible source
What "change" are you talking about? Could it be the changes mentioned in that article, thus undermining everything else that you wrote?

You say this as if "change" has something inherently good about it.

It doesn't. Change can be good, bad, or inconsequential.

But the way the left uses the word "change", brainwashes their followers into believing the word automatically has positive connotations.

I'm sure when Jews started seeing "change" in Germany in the late 1930s, they did not view it as something good.

Sometimes, change SHOULD be feared.

We aren't talking about Nazi Germany. The logical fallacy you're using right now is "reductio ad absurdum".

The simple fact is it isn't 1960 any more. Society will continue to evolve. Some on the right side of the isle need to accept that, and turning to low information, low quality propaganda sources to be told what people want to hear (as was linked in the OP) isn't an answer.

Imagine the reverse where black students had to call out things against themselves. Imagine a course called "America is the land of opportunity. ANYONE can be a millionaire." where anyone not a millionaire has to define how they failed.
The biggest problem is I read the study that article references. It doesn't claim 'math is racist'. It says there is racism in mathematical instruction. That sources like OPs misstate things is a problem.

"Wokeness" isn't destroying the country. This is by and large manufactured outrage by the right wing.

I've seen this excuse, "It's not the math, it's the way it's instructed" used to shove aside the initial INSANE claim that math is racist.

Can you give an example of these racist math instructions, other than 2+2=4, of course.

They are calling it Racist because some Blacks don't have the discipline, nor motivation to learn it, including most other subjects. So EVERYTHING will be Racist.

Nazi Germany wasn't Nazi Germany until it was Nazi Germany. It took change to get that way.

But if the Nazi Germany example is too "played out" for you, now that Trump isn't in office anymore, you can apply it to ANY and EVERY political event in history that is viewed as "negative" today. It all started with some kind of "change".

As I said, some change is to be feared. This "woke","cancel culture" change is in this category. Nothing good can come from it. It is leading us down the wrong course, and should be corrected ASAP.

Just as a point of order. The "frog slowly boiling" thing is complete b.s. Frogs do not allow themselves to slowly boil provided they are alive and have legs.

Tell that to all the cancelled people. We treat ex con bank robbers better than a stupid kid who rapped offensive lyrics, a girl who played dress up, a guy who questioned all the leftist goons going nuts on her for playing dress up, two white women who owned a taco truck...

One would think the lack of inbred hillbillies calling black people the N word would be a good thing. We don't have enough of them to keep up the outrage so we call out tiny things... or non things.
