    STUPID is the new “progress” … Oregon trying to abolish math, claiming it’s racist

    he Oregon Department of Education (ODE) has launched a new instruction program for public school teachers throughout the state that claims the subject of mathematics is “racist” and promotes “white supremacy.”


    The department sent out an online pamphlet called, “A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction” that contains a section entitled, “Dismantling Racism in Mathematics Instruction.” In it, teachers are urged to reimagine the nature of math to make it more “inclusive” for black and brown people who apparently have trouble understanding it.


    Students should not necessarily be told that technically wrong answers in math are existentially “wrong,” the pamphlet suggests. Claiming that an answer to a math question is either right or wrong is inherently “racist,” it goes on to conclude, instructing teachers about ways to abolish this type of “white supremacist” thinking from the classroom.


    “While supremacy culture infiltrates math classrooms in everyday teacher actions,” the pamphlet declares. “Coupled with the beliefs that underlie these actions, they perpetuate educational harm on [minority] students, denying them full access to the world of mathematics.”


    In order to effectively dismantle “white supremacist” ideas like there being right and wrong answers in math, Oregon teachers are being told to closely examine their “actions, beliefs, and values around teaching mathematics.” Anything that might be “offensive” to students needs to be abolished.

    Oregon Education Department Promotes Course on ‘Dismantling Racism in Math’......

    Students showing their work, getting the right answer demonstrate 'white supremacy culture,' course claims

    The Oregon Department of Education wants teachers to enroll in a class focused on "dismantling racism in mathematics," Fox News reported Friday.


    The "Pathway to Math Equity Micro Course," which the Oregon Department of Education advertised in its newsletter, aims to provide middle school teachers with the resources needed to abolish "white supremacy culture" in math class. Concentrating on finding the right answer and asking students to show their work demonstrate white supremacy, according to the 82-page course document......snip~

    Next up they will do like New York and send pamphlets home telling parents to reflect on their whiteness. Wonder how they will feel once they are told they are offensive to children.

    Well, they finally did it. The one universally accepted skill all over the world ....MATHEMATICS...Oregon has now officially said is racist.

    Looks like millions of future Oregonians will never be able to balance their checkbooks and now have an excuse.

    (but try telling that to the bank when they get hit with all the fees for bad checks)

    Oregon has officially gone off the deep end.
    When it is not allowed to be questioned, it is not science, it is PROPAGANDA

    education is now exclusively for the elite.
    Wanna bet private schools will continue to teach mathematics?

    well, when you establish the notion that everything should be free...................
    Couple this with the idea that we, the Little People, don't need education (math) which is work, then you create more dependency on government to tell you what 2+2=4 REALLY means, then you have a nation of fools lead by self-serving bean counters.

    That is actually pretty racist.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.
