California leftists want math canceled because math is white and it’s racist. They are considering a social justice math program that isn’t traditional math — white supremacist math. They want math equity.
“Getting the right answer” is sooo white.
The proposed California framework provides examples of how “white supremacy culture” has infiltrated math classes in schools:
- The focus is on getting the “right” answer.
- Independent practice is valued over teamwork or collaboration.
- “Real-world math” is valued over math in the real world.
- Students are tracked (into courses/pathways and within the classroom).
- Participation structures reinforce dominant ways of being.
Additionally, it asserts the means by which teachers assess student learning in math is based on white supremacy culture, as demonstrated by:
- Students are required to “show their work.”
- Grading practices are focused on lack of knowledge.
- Language acquisition is equated with mathematical proficiency.
The proposed California framework continues to claim these common practices perpetuate white supremacy culture create and sustain institutional and systemic barriers to equity for Black, Latinx, and Multilingual students. In order to dismantle these barriers, we must identify what it means to be an antiracist math educator.
We think we have a good math problem for CRT math: There are several buildings on the street we are going to burn down — a tall one, three medium-sized ones, and one small one. How many buildings are we going to burn down? The child answers: we are going to burn three down! The teacher responds: No, but that’s close enough because at least you know we are going to burn the buildings down! [We’re joking about this problem, but not the rest. This is the proposal]
If they want to cancel math entirely, I have no problem with that. After all, somebody’s gotta clean the toilets and wipe the old people’s bottoms.
If there is anything in this universe that is absolute truth it is mathematics. Most of science depends on using mathematics to advance our technology, build things, prove things, etc. Our civilization would be back to caveman days without mathematics.
Idiocracy is no longer just a movie.
It seems if you do not know math, you would be really bad a selling drugs. To sell drugs you need to know weight and measurements. You also need to know how to count money. If you do this wrong, you will probably get killed. So are all these raciest white liberals really trying to get a bunch of Blacks killed.
That is an evil act to do to the black community. You have to show your work in math other then that you are making it up. E=mc^2 is an answer but the work had to be shown to prove it true.

If Tyrone sells a nickle of Black Pearl to Juan for 10 million satoshis is Juan getting jacked?
You sir win the internets for the day!
Just because you cant learn math, doesnt make me a racist. g f y.
How preposterous can the Left get? I guess they’d prefer we beg China to engineer things for us since America is banning math? We “normal” Americans are worse than the radical Leftists that populate the Democrat Party because we go along and deny reality in order to help them preserve their absurd illusions.
Imagine: Focusing on getting the right answer. Wow
This is actually a good thing. As the owner of a retail show if the liberal customer doesn’t no math it will be easy to tell them they didn’t pay enough and you will have them pay more money than necessary to obtain the item.
Reading, writing and arithmetic. Reading and writing are being taught at a low level, and now they want to eliminate arithmetic? What’s left to teach? Leftists have even revised the history being taught, making historical events unrecognizable. I suppose the people pushing this nonsense have little to no education themselves and want to turn our young people into radical activists using their self-approved propaganda.
Go ahead, it’ll be easier to short change the idiots!
The only good leftist is a …
…..leftist at room or blast furrnace temperature
Yes , it must be Racist because Blacks and Browns can’t do Math …ha..ha…
bingo.. We have a winner !!!!!
They might as well start training how to apply for welfare because they will be worthless in the real world. The Dems need everybody dependent on the gov’t mule!
Systemic ignorance has morphed into systemic STUPIDITY…
Hey when these comrades become architects and doctors (LOL!) they are the ones that you have been waiting for.
The Florida International U. diversity bridge was in Miami area that collapsed after the evolved utopia builders worked their magic.
The lead engineer was hailed by Chicago Jesus Hussein Hopenchange so there is that Midas touch.
That is the future under woke math.
What they’re really saying is that most of them are too dumb to pass any math test.. typical of this class.
