This is a proposal that is going forward into the approval rating with the school district itself. One school is reportedly attempting to incorporate some of the framework into its mathematics curriculum, but it remains unnamed.Gagium wrote:Kubra wrote:K so let's have a source from a non right-wing source

I believe that one of the sources is literally from the government website of the school accused of being left-wing...Got you though

They're trying to find a way to make kids more excited for mathematics. Pedagogy is a difficult process man, you gotta play around a bit to see what sticks.Kustonia wrote:Kubra wrote:K so let's have a source from a non right-wing source

Rather unfortunately..If we look at the site that happens to be from the school itself, it states that “[The class will] identify how math has been and continues to be used to oppress and marginalize people and communities of color.” Now, I don’t know who these obvious BIGOTTED RACISTS are that’re using MATH to OPPRESS communities of color, but - But I don’t think they exist...

If I had to guess, I'd assume one point they're talking about is how nationalists/racists misuse statistics regarding nationality/ race and criminality.

The field of mathematics isn’t racist in of itself. If anything it’s a melting pot, we use numbers created by Arabs, we have zeros from India, a lot of the base is from ancient Greece and Rome, and a whole bunch of other cultures and ethnicities are added on top
