Fox News hosts lament algebra and history text books

BAHAHAHAHA, holy fuck is that funny. I guess anything with the words "equal" and "distributive" are liberal then.

Yeah, it was compulsory. Granted, we never had anything as advanced as studying compound interest and hyperinflation in HS, but Europe's different. We don't even have Religion classes in most High Schools here.

Here in California we don't have any religious classes. In fact, I don't think public schools are allowed to legally have religious classes, as that violates Separation of Church and State clause in the Constitution.

Not true.

I know not everyone can read/download that, but if you can, I highly recommend you do. Very interesting.

But math does have a liberal bias. You see, according to math, finances and free market capitalism are racist and evil.

Proof:

1. Racial integration was a good thing.

2. According to the fundamental theorem of calculus, integration is the opposite of differentiation.

3. Therefore, since integration was good, derivatives must be bad, and so must everything associated with them.

4. Ergo, derivatives trading is bad and racist and so is capitalism (because it's associated with derivatives, so the associative property holds), and therefore Islam and black lesbian abortionism are good.

5. Praise Stalin.

QED

Do you really want the liberal filth known as "calculus" taught to your children?

I can confirm that this is an entirely valid mathematical proof.

Huh, interesting.

I live outside LA, and we generally like our religion on one plate and our education on the other. Just gets messy when you try integrating the two.

The long and short of the article is that a school in Modesto introduced an religious studies course that favoured no religion over any other by giving factual accounts of each, covered a large variety of them (not just the Abrahamic), and stressed the similarities between the religions. The net result was a significant boost in the number of children that properly understood the concept embodied by the First Amendment, and a significant boost in the tolerance of these children towards differing viewpoints.

Fox says things that make people feel things without thinking. Capitalism allowed this to happen in society. People pay for the privilege of not having to exert as much energy in just about anything...

BAHAHAHAHA, holy fuck is that funny. I guess anything with the words "equal" and "distributive" are liberal then.

Not really, that's not what Mr. Bolling was saying. He was harping on the title of the worksheet in question, which is "Distribute The Wealth". Merely a play on words not really "pushing" an agenda. But it's not quite as moronic as the OP's article makes it out to be.

The fact he's bitching about something as simple as a title shows that he and the network he works with (Fuc- I mean Fox) have to pander to the lowest common denominator just to get views.

Because describing the exercise in as few words as possible obviously makes it a liberal conspiracy. Amirite?

But, wait a second, doing things efficiently (because inefficient models are tossed by the roadside) is a capitalist concept. ZOMG! DA FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?

[Tekania]

No, it's merely a play on words. I'm merely pointing out how the situation is being portrayed by misrepresentation by an article. There is plenty to critique Eric Bolling on without resorting to deception.

My point being that Bolling is making an issue out of the title of a worksheet, simply because it was described accurately and without extraneous words.

Oh my lordy.

[Olivaero]

Ah... America.... You always provide such a good example, of solely private news broadcasting, for me to use when crazy UKIP members tell me they want to privatize the BBC.

You're welcome. *hands you an invoice* That service is no longer free.

Dammit! Now I have to get a job and end my dirty mooching commie lifestyle.... no more free liberal education for me!

Why did they name it "Distribute The Wealth"? The people who wrote it were probably trying to get a show out of the Fox people, which they did. Must have been funny to watch.

Damn, I'd love to see a textbook company specialize in trolling.

My guess, is they called it that because it's a pretty well known phrase, and goes along well with the concept of the mathematical property that is being taught. I doubt they expected a reaction from Fox.

It is always good to make education entertaining.

[Williamson]

yeah i wounder why everyone didn't realize that fox news isn't complete crap

[Juristonia]

Sounds like satire taken too far. I refuse to believe he was serious.

Fox doesn't do satire. Fox doesn't even do SAT.

They have ire by the bucket loads though.

No, it absolutely isn't.

And why not? Kids aren't gonna learn if it's boring as shit.

I know I didn't learn anything in my chemistry class. Wanna know why? Hint: It was fucking boring.

By contrast, I enjoyed physics a lot because of the connections to the real world, the fun experiments, and generally the entertaining nature of the teacher.

Don't use that phrase anymore, the conservative censors are watching you... From the shadows...

I've learned the most from my entertaining teachers.
