I heard about this. I swear this stuff makes me pull my hair out. You are setting up kids for failure with this garbage. Combine that with the philosophy that all your bad behavior is due to racism or whatever ism and you wonder why crime rates are crazy. Amongst other things.
If you treat black and brown students different it will make the white students resent them. On top of that it will make the black and brown students feel inferior because they need special attention. Is a recipe for perpetuating racism and hatred.
Which is their plan all along. And constantly telling white peoples how horrible they are breeds resentment. Or saying that white people need to be less white.
I know you've caught your fair share of being told to be less white, too.
The way that being intelligent, well-spoken, and well-read has become 'acting white' in the black community is a symptom of real problems that can't be addressed by altering a math curriculum.
That’s very true. Yea I’ve been told I act white since childhood. Not so much as an adult since that is more of a young person thing. Instead of addressing real problems it seems to be more important to waste time with blm nonsense. I mean the disproportionate crime rate is crazy! I remember Larry Elder took flack for saying that if a white person gets apprehensive in the evening if they see a group of young black males then statistically they have a point. He then said it’s not flattering for me to say it but it’s true.
It's the modern day version of "salting the earth". Not only destroy your enemy, but ensure they can never recover.
This one is hilarious. Why is this a racist thing? Is there a need to move around during math class for black students? Or are they saying that the teacher needs to breakdance?
Focus is important for math. Students who can focus better will excel. Integrate distractions into the math class to disturb the focus of focused students. It's some Harrison Bergeron shit.
Solve this parabolic function equation,
OR
Twerk to get the full mark.
P.S. : White Devils are not allowed to culturally appropriate twerking and will fail the exam if they do it.
Breakdancing would’ve been a nice break during calculus or trig classes. Lol
I'm trying to imagine my math teacher breakdancing, it would have been so hilarious.
A funny thing about math was that I struggled with algebra and trigonometry to get a C or a low B at best. Calculus was super easy for me though. Go figure
I loved math, all of it. I was a kid that did math on my own in my free time. It was the only class I loved.
I wish I knew you as a kid. I could’ve used some tutoring
It's the idea that black kids have inherent propensity to dance that they just have to get out of their system all the time and practice to be healthy. The soul brotha, soul sista race. That's how libs think so they think they're doing black nerds a favor by coming up with stupid hip hop analogies in class. This dates back to the 90s at the very least. Older millenials and Gen X can distinctly remember authority figures trying to come up with the lamest beats imaginable to teach schmaltzy lessons about multiplication tables, narcotics and pirating software
Or maybe they would have been better off not punishing and drugging (ironically, after constant fear mongering about drugs) children for yawning and stretching when getting up after two hours of sitting still. It's schizophrenic nonsense.
another memory: constantly trying to get unwilling elementary school kids to dance in insipid plays written with one hand for the sadistic barely concealed sexual pleasure of Principal Groomer McFuckerstein and Vice Principal Proxy Munchausen
I did not have to read to much to find the connection to communism. Want to fight racism, destroy capitalism. It may not helps black people directly but it will make everyone equally poor and starving.
I never thought this garbage would infest math and science
Nothing is sacred. Nothing is safe.
It will infest everything until they are stopped or complete societal collapse.
Doesn’t that also apply to women to a degree? This endless push for women in STEM when in reality women generally don’t go into those fields
Gotcha. There is a constant push for them but I know studies have shown that women are generally interested in different things. For instance, I didn’t have a male teacher til I was in middle school.
Jorden Peterson mentioned that countries that worked to remove societal requirements for men/women, like Sweden have a much bigger gender difference then countries that have not done so.
Poorer countries will have more women in STEM then richer more progressive countries. This implies that when a country is rich and you allow men and women to chose what field to work in you will get more women in education and nurses and more men in STEM.
I guess another example is the one that makes me laugh. Why isn’t there a push for women in sanitation departments? I mean sanitation workers are male dominated and I’m taught that is a bad thing
