It doesn’t really matter what curriculum you have in place if your kids don’t even show up to school

Wasn’t a lot of modern math invented by North African moors?

Well if you take 2 hood rats and add 2 hood rats you get about 20 hood rats.


That’s called multiplication not addition.

Math not your strong suit I guess.

Don’t digest, don’t argue, stop trying to rationalize this nonsense. This is now a cultural divide and we need to recognize the situation.

We need a nice boundary to let these people go wild with critical race theory and any other way to rationalize racism today. Keep that progressive liberal nonsense in your shithole country while we can continue to prosper. These people are not Americans anymore. They are nihilist that will shift ideology on a whim to destroy anything in their path to remain culturally relevant.

By definition, just stating that math is racist.....is, in fact, racist.

If math is racist then physics is literally Hitler.

They count them as white when it suits them. But seriously people from the Middle East are classified as white in the US. Asians, who Indians are classified as, are sometimes grouped in with white people or ignored when it comes to looking at education or income disparities among race.

This leads me to believe that this article isn't real. It simply can't be. I think people are stupid as frick, but I have trouble thinking someone is THIS stupid.







James Lindsay, a Math PhD, got into real genuine debate with people this summer that were arguing for 2+2=5.

he went crazy anti-woke after that. there's a literal book where we talk about 2+2=5 being used as a sign of brainwashing the populace and people turned around and tried to justify it as an actual statement.


a fun read on it.

He’s been anti woke for while. Him and colleagues have gotten a series of made up woke papers published in peer reviewed journals. One of them was a revised excerpt of Mein Kampf.

Its hard to defend this because it makes no fricking sense at all.

How the frick is math racist? If someone can argue that math is racist, then they could probably argue everything in the world is racist by some bullshite logic.

Things that are indisputably fact are inherently unbiased. The way things are just that.

Do you actually understand the math they are teaching? I'm guessing not, because as a math nerd, there are some really good reasons for kids to learn it this way.

I actually never understood the “new math” that was taught. I learned better by the old way. My problem with the new math common core way is that kids aren’t allowed to learn any other way and if they showed their work from old math it was wrong.
