Math is systematic racism

Apparently teaching mathematics in California is institutional racism. Who would have thought teaching kids that 2+2=4 could be an example of systematic racism.

Do you even know how to type in a proper URL? Or did you learn how to cite your sources in one of those New Math classes?

The paywall is a complete joke to post.
2+2=paywall.

Do you know what ‘opinion’ means?



Didn’t think so!

What’s your point? Do believe it’s systematic racism to teach math correctly?

Nobody cares when you can't even post a URL properly. It's as if you learned that in New Math. :ROFLMAO:

So, what if we pay teachers spew this shit one dollar per month - would it be racist of them to complain?
 
This is hardly the first time a poster here cited a source with a paywall. But the topic has been raised by a lot of other sources, so interested parties can certainly find other coverage of this latest fraud. To rewrite an old lyric, “Do the Race-Hustle!”
 
Since when has adding 2+2 been racist?

I will not click on a paywall link.

I heard a report about this on one of the afternoon Fox News shows today. Somewhere in CA, they had a community meeting about it and over 90% of the parents were firmly opposed to it. To bad liberals have nothing whatsoever to contribute to the thread but silly, worthless snark. It figures, as that's kind of the way many liberal comments have been going on DP lately. I'm wondering if they are are thinking things aren't going so well because actually staying on topic and discussing actual news seems to suddenly be uncomfortable for them.
Here are a couple more links on the topic.

Fine. This will set at risk groups even further behind but their self esteem will be firmly in place.
Until they enter a competitive job market that has no use for them.

CJ comes out with an example of racist stereotypes that prove the need for more racial sensitivity.

If you didn’t already know the left is saying math is racist then you shouldn’t be reponding to the post because you could have easily found out for yourself. Criticizing a link won’t stop people from seeing everything is racist to liberals.

The stereotypes you refer to are pretty much based on reality, otherwise they wouldn’t work as a stereotype. Those stereotypes, as you call them, are also why the left is saying math is racist.

Steve N, who does not believe that Black Lives Matter, is under the delusion that right-wing hack sites deserve immunity from criticism. :LOL:

I'm so sorry that you think that a right-wing talking point will work for a change when you have yet to demonstrate any knowledge about math education. :)

Everyone knows 2+2 except little kids who can't count and some extremely retarded people who are unable to learn anything.

Why did you tell me a stupid lie that does not even make sense to high school students?
