Educators Work to Eradicate ‘Racism’ from Math

Leftist educators around the nation are campaigning to eradicate “racism” and “whiteness” from math curricula.
According to a report from The College Fix, American educators are hard at work to remove what they call bigotry and “whiteness” from mathematics education.

This mode of thinking about an innocuous subject matter like mathematics is far more mainstream than most realize. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics hosted a webinar last year that argued that “mathematics becomes a social justice tool that empowers students to mathematically recognize and address oppression they see in their own world.”

It doesn’t end there. A popular Medium post on the same topic from 2018 argues that “math was never neutral” and that American students only learn about Isaac Newton because he was white.

“Calculus was a monumental achievement and deserves to have authorship recognized with Newton. But more students encounter the work of Brahmagupta than Newton,” the post reads, “but, what if it wasn’t Newton that discovered calculus? What if it was Japanese scholar Seki Takakazu? We will never know. But the bigger idea is why couldn’t this be a possibility? Do we not want to be dislodged from the entrenched Western narrative?”

Chapman University Education Professor Cathery Yeh shared a research article earlier this year on Twitter that argues that math education often acts as a gateway to “transphobia” and “genderism.”

The article argues that elementary students must have their math lessons infused with a “social justice” theoretical framework.

But what about elementary mathematics? This paper describes the theoretical frames and gives an example of social justice-oriented mathematics with elementary-age students. We share the process of analyzing published K-6 mathematics curriculum as an entryway to engage in investigations that raise students’ awareness of social issues and to develop their mathematical power and sense of self as mathematics thinkers and doers.

Breitbart News has written extensively about the rise in usage of the term “whiteness,” which is used as a broad diagnosis of the allegedly immoral behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs of American white people.

If this $#@! isn't stopped we'll be entering into a new "dark ages".

Pretty sure that's the point of all this nonsense.

A new "Dark Age" would kill billions.

Mathematics was one of my Majors. When lectured about its origins, that had to be one of the most fascinating lectures I have ever received by a professor.

[Anti Globalist]

Theres no such thing as math being racist. I don't even think math even knows what racism is.

Proof you are a racist.

[Danke]

Proof you are a racist.

Why, cause I like Asian chicks who are good at Math?

[Stratovarious]

''It doesn’t end there. A popular Medium post on the same topic from 2018 argues that “math was never neutral” and that American students only learn about Isaac Newton because he was white.''

So they don't want to expose students to Brilliant men of history , unless they were black , how many Black Isaac Newtons or Albert Einsteins
have come from Black Communities ?
Is this the 'everyone gets a prize' mentality , promote racism against whites, reward blacks/non whites, penalize whites for the color of their skin.... right......

[Swordsmyth]

More proof you are a racist.
You assume they are good at math and you take advantage of minorities.

[Stratovarious]

Mathematically speaking , does this same group of liberals intend to charge non whites the extra
electricity it takes to light up a classroom when it's not all white ?

[Stratovarious]

More proof you are a racist.
You assume they are good at math and you take advantage of minorities.

A hot Asian Chic good at math, I'd hit it, is that racist ?

[Danke]

More proof you are a racist.
You assume they are good at math and you take advantage of minorities.

Not an assumption, just experience.

[TheTexan]

Numbers are sizeist. The numbers 1 and 0 fat shames people into thinking they either have to be pencil-thin or perfect ovals.

[Swordsmyth]

A hot Asian Chic good at math, I'd hit it, is that racist ?

What color is your skin?

I take your avatar to mean you are a white supremacist.

[Swordsmyth]

Not an assumption, just experience.

So you have been making them do your math for you?

That's probably slavery.

[TheTexan]

More proof you are a racist.

Asians are good at math. Most of them didn't have calculators growing up so they learned how to do math the hard way.

Similarly, black people are better at sports because they grew up running from the police.

[Stratovarious]

What color is your skin?

I take your avatar to mean you are a white supremacist.

I'm guessing that the Stratovarious was not designed in Africa , so yea I guess that would raise a red flag........
My skin is pretty medium , out in the sun a lot.

You are probably a racist, I would need to see a photo to say for sure.

This is idiotic. And will fail.

lol , who am I trying to kid, I voted Trump , and have my dining room wallpapered in Isaac Newton / Ben Franklin...........

American Inventors

[Stratovarious]

American Inventors

Thank the Lord that this isn't revisionist blst designed to attempt to put Blacks on
on the level of Einsteins and Newtons per capita ..........

[euphemia]

2+2 no longer adds up to a bigger welfare check

[KEEF]

Theres no such thing as math being racist. I don't even think math even knows what racism is.

Oh no, every good white boy can tell you that the only reason why 2+2=4 is because math is a big white nationalist conspiracy to suppress minorities. Otherwise it equals whatever that 4 wants it to be. It can be a black 4, a Hispanic 4, a 4 with a lisp, a 4 that even though it may had been born a 4, it actually is a vowel on the inside and is just waiting for the right time to come out. <SARCASM>

Not sure about the Stratovarious, but Stratovarius (the power metal band) was “designed” in Finland.

A Stradivarius would come from Italy...

math racist???... bunch of horse$hit!

[tfurrh]

The first two letters of math are the first two letters of man/male. Sexist

If you turn the M in math upside down, it's a W...as in white. Racist.

Also Arithmetic is derived from an Aryan word which roughly translates discipline of the pure-race.

Black people use math also.

[Pauls' Revere]

Right, the Pythagorean Theorem and Avogadro's Number. How the hell did they do that? How the heck do you figure out the number of atoms in a Mole.
