And a tool to oppress people of color, instead the are going to replace math with ethnic studies and social justice math.

quote:

At its core, the belief seems to be that “western” math is viewed as the only “legitimate expression” of math identity and that it’s used to “disenfranchise people and communities of color” and, consequently, it “erases the historical contributions of people and communities of color.”

Guess they forgot that modern math is a construct of NOT a white man but of the Greeks and Egyptians.

i honestly don't even know what they're going for

they're arguing that white, western people "appropriated" math and have used it to oppress minorities, and it's important to discuss this to explain disparities in outcomes of math scores by race, or something. guarantee you asian people will be effectively considered white for this class

Who were Caucasoid.

Race has very little to do with skin color.

Ramesses the Great had naturally red hair, pale skin, and a thin hook nose.

They know this because they have his actual physical remains.

I'm guessing electricity will be next as the devil of the white man. Edison invented electricity for the purpose of electrocuting black men on death row.

"Western" math. WTF is that?

Just another example of a leftist throwing together the same buzz words with no actual mening regardless of subject.

Even if my #1 goal in life was to oppress minorities, I have no fricking idea how I'd use MATH to do it!
