An Ethnic Studies Advisory Committee (ESAC), under the Seattle Public Schools Superintendent, published a preliminary Math Ethnic Studies framework document populated by district representatives that explains math as a racist study used to oppress students — and if you correct a student's faulty math logic, you're guilty.
Math is racist
The framework, created by various statewide districts, tackles four themes, including Power and Oppression and History of Resistance and Liberation.
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."
None of this has anything to do with the math you should learn in K-12; these are topics left for a progressive college course you'd likely see at Evergreen State College.
The framework asks, "Where does Power and Oppression show up in our math experiences?" It wonders, "Who gets to say if an answer is right?"
Apparently, math is now subjective. Who are you to insist two plus two equals four? It goes on to ask "Who is Smart? Who is not Smart?" Answer: the person who says two plus two equals five is not yet smart and should be corrected, even if you think it oppresses them.
The framework believes math is manipulated to allow inequality and oppression to persist. They ask, "Who is doing the oppressing?" I think the answer is supposed to be the white, cis-gendered, heterosexual Christian man.
They ask, "How has math been used to resist and liberate people and communities of color from oppression?"
Ironically, if you subscribe to this social justice world view of math, and teach anyone that there's no such thing as correct answers, you will be doing immeasurable and, yes, oppressive, harm to students.
History revised
These radical educators aren't just looking to redefine the study of math. They seem ready to use history courses to present an aggressively progressive worldview, using socialist activist Howard Zinn teachings to indoctrinate kids.

I will not call her doctor. She could use a doctor, specifically a psychiatrist.
When comparing international math scores I don't think "how has math been used to resist and liberate people and communities of color from oppression" will be the criteria.
Prog money and power making kids stupid.
I think she is very cute looking woman..
She has matured very gracefully.

And the math score gap between Oriental countries and the US will widen.
Math was my best subject, white power!!! lol
Serious, I was top of the class if my other friend wasnt, in Advanced Math. Fuck Algebra though, that shit is like the KKK of math lol.

I actually used algebra when I married.
I used to buy 6 kgs of Spinach and ricotta ravioli from the factory.
At supermarkets, you paid $3 something for 300 grams (these figures aren't right because I cannot remember the exact price after all this time)
I wanted to know how much I was saving buying balk from the factory so I put it all in an algebra sum...
It turns out I was saving $2.60 per 300 grams going the balk road. It proves algebra has a practical application outside a school room.
My son was a maths genius...

See I wouldnt consider that algebra, I would consider it basic math. That or I guess I use certain algebra techniques that were maybe applied in advanced math class. Hell I dont know lol, all I know, is fuck algebra lol.

If I remember correctly, History class turned into Social Studies in school when I went. But at the same time, THEY were already trying to condition us in History class.

History is subjective. The Republic of Korea has a different version of history than the DPRK. And Japan has a different version of history than the rest of East Asia.
Math, on the other hand, is not subjective.
