    Adding wokeness: Oregon promotes teacher program to subtract ‘racism in mathematics’

    Seems silly, doesn't, ignorably silly, but it undermines Western reason.

    Adding wokeness: Oregon promotes teacher program to subtract ‘racism in mathematics’

    The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) recently encouraged teachers to register for training that encourages “ethnomathematics” and argues, among other things, that White supremacy manifests itself in the focus on finding the right answer.

    ...Part of the toolkit includes a list of ways “white supremacy culture” allegedly “infiltrates math classrooms.” Those include “the focus is on getting the ‘right’ answer,” students being “required to ‘show their work,'” and other alleged manifestations.

    “The concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false, and teaching it is even much less so,” the document for the “Equitable Math” toolkit reads. “Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuate objectivity as well as fear of open conflict.”

    ...

    Equitable, that's the aim of Biden and Harris.

    Indeed, if there is no objective truth then how can wokeness be claimed to be the right answer?

    Teh maths is not subjective, it is absolute. This is simply more of the mental disorder known as modern liberalism.

    How are they going to dumb down math to make "ethnomathematics"?

    That's racism and is not fair to white students to be held down in that manner
