Seattle Schools Teaching Math Is Racist

[Reploid Productions]

You are all fucking tribalists who only use abstract shared principles when they suit your interests and sentiments. Fuck you all.

Fuck humans. Let cats and robots rule. All you humans are fucking human.

All of you on both sides use motivated "reasoning" and other BS. It is hilarious.

Fuck humans. Cats rule.

Well, fuck commies and commie loyalists.

As usual black problems are inherently likely to be
intractable and have a tendency to metastatize.

Given your track record under this nation as well as your other puppet EastKekistan, *** Neko-koku, DEAT for trolling/flaming, and we'll throw a 2-week forumban on top of it for good measure. ***

I live in Seattle. Sounds like something the city government would do.

[Ors Might]

Not the worst thing in the world, if they’re using world life problems to get kids interested in math.

Why am I not surprised that an OP who openly identifies as a "white nationalist" would be behind such a blatant act of racebaiting sensationalism to produce an outrage-milking narrative which is directly contradicted by the most reliable source on it?

Math ain't racist, but I can clearly see that reading comprehension and simple honesty are anti-racist exlusives.

I didn't see that the nazi who once said that the Nazis were helping the News was the OP. Checks out though .

They're not teaching that math is racist, to start. Besides, this is one way to answer the question of when you will use anything from math.

13x = 52/100

Infinitely clever material from /pol/ as always.

[Major-Tom]

What a stupid fucking title for a thread lmao.

I mean, is this a little heavy handed on Seattle's part? Yeah, probably. But it's just a misguided attempt to incorporate talking about uncomfortable issues into the classroom, probably on the part of school board members who are good-intentioned, but ultimately bad at executing these sort of big picture ideas.

That's it, fairly benign, so it's only normal that the usual suspects are triggered over this.

Who keeps putting these stupid dumbass acts into law?

I'm gonna walk into a Seattle school, and just grab the nearest staff member I see.
"Where is he? WHERE IS HE"
"W-who"
"THE IDIOT WHO MADE MATH RACIST LET ME AT HIM"

Regardless, math should not have a political agenda injected into it.

It's neither an act or a law.

Isn't injecting race/ethnicity into unrelated topics kind of racist, since it enforces the idea of identity politics? Isn't trying to teach children that mathematics - the language of the universe - is "racist", kind of racist? Moreover, isn't calling practically everything that happens to be prominent in nations with European-Americans (perhaps due to culture and values instead of race) "racist", racist against European-Americans? Or alternatively, are republics, free speech, and banning slavery racist now?

Also, how is teaching children the concepts of race and ethnicity in mathematics class helpful for them to get jobs and productively contribute to society?

Also:

Can we just please go back to Mathematics itself, instead of trying to mix and mash politics into Calculus? They are both differentiated and that you can't integrate the two.

Agreed. There really should be a limit on where a school should teach "ethnicity studies" and similar.

Normally I would agree, but this seems to actually make students more successful in math. Even if the political aspect seems strange, it looks like it's working.

∂z/∂u = do u ever talk about anything else

It doesn't matter. This is still popaganda.

Math already has a religious agenda. Why not a political one?

[Bloodshade]

My 2 cents on this: Math is certainly not inherently racist but racists can use a branch of mathematics, especially statistics, to justify their own abhorrent views.

Can't wait until we divide numbers among "black", "white", "hispanic", and "asian" values.

It's hilarious how little you understand about the matter at hand. It's obvious that half the people here didn't even read the OP.

It's no more propaganda than my math teacher's equally strange attempts to make math interesting. Teaching how math was used to justify racism is still technically teaching math.

it's almost like putting racism in math, with the thought you can somehow conflate the two like you can with racism is history, is a batshit retarded idea that was pulled from a dirty anus.

It's so retarded that if you bothered to read the people who are supposed to be for are saying exactly the opposite.

Then purge the religious crap.

Maybe if ethnicity studies weren’t objectively beneficial, you might have a leg to stand on.

What specifically is the religious agenda of math curricula?
