Why don’t liberals just come out admit that TRUTH is racist?

This is as close as they have come to actually saying that.

Math isn't intrinsically racist; if anything it's the most race-neutral subject. But how it is presented can be racist. Story problems, for example, can be racist. That's when you try to apply abstract mathematics in real-world situations.

And they put an emphasis on education!

Indoctrination can be education too. At least when you subscribe to the Marxist ideology anyways. The Soviet Union showed lefties how it's done and they were taking notes. Both Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders praised the Soviet Union early in their careers, and only started talking down on it when they gave up on communism.

2 parent households don’t ensure you’ll be successful. Plenty of 2 parent households are toxic and crappy.

The culture of hard work, self sufficiency, assimilation, and not bringing shame to your family is far more important.

The people pay the highest price under a system that makes everything cheap.

Making everything cheap undermines all integrity.

They are creating a world where nothing adds up.

If there is no correction, there is no need for teachers. If I failed a test and the teacher gave me an A, I would consider that teacher to be a fool maker and of no benefit to me. But then I know what great enjoyment and enlightenment I have felt when I came to know the true answer to a problem I have spent a lot of time working on. While the course they are on is only robbing children from tasting that success, and when reality pans out those children will discover that those teachers only placed them on a path of continued failure.

P.S. In response to EarthBound? I figure those who push this stuff would make the leaning tower of Pisa into a pool hall.

Its there are 10 kinds of these people in base 2. Many people have trouble visualizing number in anything other than base 10, cant wait til people other than engineers get to deal with ipv6 addresses.

Math beyond arithmetic might be too abstract for many students. The obvious solution by students is to not worry about the underlying logic but just learn the technique. Of course the new-new math does just the opposite but then students often just memorize someone's supposed elegant logic just like they sometimes just memorize proofs.

Well, there are different methods of logic and then featuring someone's particular logic is not a good course offering.

Now, there are problems with other types of courses. For instance, analysis of literature could put the student up against a psychologist that insists that the student is not writing what they should be personally saying. Boom, it's just a dead-end.

The overall solution is to not require specific courses but only require a number of course credits. But then courses must be added to make course choices available. And vocational courses might need to be added.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back to math and it doesn't have to be a classical subject. For instance, eight-grade math is essentially one-equation-with-one-unknown. Then ninth-grade math could be two-equations-with-two-unknowns. Tenth-grade math is usually geometry and that's where a logic is traditionally required more so than a technique. Eleventh-grade math could be three-equations-with-three-unknowns and more which is matrix algebra. Twelfth-grade math could be trigonometry. An additional math course would be an introduction to calculus. Another available math course could simply be popular topics of the time.

Also programming courses could be available but programming goes far beyond the most often featured web-page programming.
