Seattle’s public-school district has proposed a new math curriculum that would teach its students all about how math has been “appropriated” — and how it “continues to be used to oppress and marginalize people and communities.”

A draft of the curriculum, which was covered in an article in Education Week, would teach students how to “explain how math and technology and/or science are connected and how technology and/or science have (sic) been and continues to be used to oppress and marginalize people and communities of color,” as well as to “identify and teach others about mathematicians* of color in their various communities: schools, neighborhoods, places of worship, businesses, etc.”

Scruffy can’t wait for TD’s progressives to come and explain how math and science oppresses and marginalizes minorities.

They’re gonna regret math being so loosely defined when their dealer comes up short.

Math has apparently been racist for a while now since it has apparently been flunking certain minorities at a disproportionate rate.

It is because it is oppressive, not because the teachers at these schools suck at teaching.
