Why Math Is Racist

 



https://www.terrellaftermath.com/


Power Line Blog  "This is actually a claim that is being made often these days: the sciences in general, and math in particular, are racist. The latest comes from Oregon:

The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) recently encouraged teachers to register for training that encourages “ethnomathematics” and argues, among other things, that White supremacy manifests itself in the focus on finding the right answer.

An ODE newsletter sent last week advertises a Feb. 21 “Pathway to Math Equity Micro-Course,” which is designed for middle school teachers to make use of a toolkit for “dismantling racism in mathematics.”

"How can mathematics possibly be racist?

Part of the toolkit includes a list of ways “white supremacy culture” allegedly “infiltrates math classrooms.” Those include “the focus is on getting the ‘right’ answer,” students being “required to ‘show their work,'” and other alleged manifestations.

“The concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false, and teaching it is even much less so,” the document for the “Equitable Math” toolkit reads. “Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuate objectivity as well as fear of open conflict.” . . .

Reality Hits Hard—Lib Cities Move to 'Re-fund the Police'

 PJ Media


Guatemalan president's 'disrespect' for VP Harris's 'pandering' was 'palpable'

JustTheNews  President Alejandro Giammattei "lectured her about 'your policy created this problem' on one hand, and then on the other hand, he makes her put on a mask," said Trump political adviser.

"The Guatemalan president's treatment of visiting Vice President Kamala Harris illustrates world leaders' lack of respect for the Biden administration, according to David Bossie, president of Citizens United."

Oh Please! ABC Spins Kamala Harris as 'Clear,' 'Blunt,' 'Direct' Border Hawk  "Get ready for the new spin from the corrupt network media: Kamala Harris, border hawk! After burying the ongoing crisis, ABC and CBS on Tuesday laughably morphed the Vice President into a “clear,” “blunt,” “direct” tough talker when it comes to the emergency. Only NBC offered a different take, shocking viewers by calling out Harris’s lie that "we've" been to the border. 

"Over on Good Morning America, the new talking points are that the Vice President is really serious about stopping illegal immigration. Co-host Robin Roberts tried to flip the sprawling disaster for the administration: “Vice President Kamala Harris on her first international trip since taking office with a clear message for anyone looking to illegally cross the border.”

"Co-host George Stephanopoulos touted, “[Harris has] been tasked by President Biden to help reduce the flow of migrants to the border and sending a blunt message: ‘Do not come.’” . . .

The White House Is Reportedly Not Happy with VP Harris' Disastrous Trip to Latin America  . . . "Some administration officials are quietly perplexed about the Vice President’s answers to some questions, in particular the particular question she got from Lester Holt where she equated the question about the border with Europe. There was hope the trip would be a success, and in the end, they feel it may have been overshadowed by some of her answers to these questions," Diamond added." . . .

. . . "I wrote yesterday about the real reason Harris does not want to go see the mess the Biden administration helped exacerbate." . . .

Tucker Carlson's Takedown of Kamala Harris Is Hilarious and a Must-See

"Fweedom!"

 RedState  "Tucker hits every aspect, from Harris’ pathetic presidential campaign to the media now treating someone so obviously unimpressive as a transformational figure. At one point, he plays a montage of various news outlets talking about her Guatemala trip and every single one is obsessed with the fact that she’s a “person of color.” You know, because race dictates results when it comes to diplomacy or something. Later, Tucker gets more serious by pointing out how weak she and other Biden officials makes the country look when they spend all their time apologizing for past sins and not on solving current problems.

"But honestly, I’m underselling the video. Take the time to watch it. It’s worth it."


Nickelodeon continues its LGBT crusade for children

The way to stop this is to do what leftists have long done: tell Nickelodeon's advertisers that you're done with them until the station stops selling sex and sexual identities to children.  Even among woke corporations, the bottom line still matters.

 Andrea Widburg  "When last we caught up with it, Nickelodeon had reached out to the five- to eight-year-old set, the ones who watch Blue's Clues & You, with a colorful video introducing them to homosexuality, so-called transgenderism, pansexualism, and other alternative sexual lifestyles, all to a bouncy tune sung by a tuneless cartoon drag queen.  Since it's still "Pride month," Nickelodeon is back again, this time with the tuneless drag queen explaining all the symbolic meaning behind some of the colors in the alternative sexuality flag." . . .

. . . "Foot fetishes and heterosexual pedophilia, though, are so yesterday.  For Nickelodeon, the energy is all about Pride.  (And again, I have no sense of pride related to people on the LGBT spectrum and feel no need to celebrate or promote them.  Apparently bizarrely in 2021, I judge people by the content of their character, not by their sexual plug-and-play options.)

"Nickelodeon's latest entry in selling LGBT sexuality to children is another drag queen video, again featuring "Nina West," the man who sang for the Blue's Clues & You video." . . .


"If you thought we’d kind of moved past the Chick-fil-A-is-Hate-Chicken phase of the national discourse, think again.". . .

Update: Smear of Mom Nicole Solas Was Prepared By Public Relations Firm Hired By South Kingstown (RI) School Committee

 Legal Insurrection

Emily Cummiskey steps down as Chair of School Committee, blames others for smear of Nicole: “The PR firm delivered me three statements, one for social media, one for Fox news, and one to read at last Wednesday’s meeting.”

"The aggressiveness with which the South Kingstown (Rhode Island) School Committee went after local mom Nicole Solas, for filing a series of public records requests regarding Critical Race and Gender activities in the school system, has never made sense. We now have a partial answer – the smear of Nicole in public statements by the School Committee Chair was drafted by a Public Relations firm.

"The story broke nationally when Nicole wrote about a school board threat to sue her in a post at Legal Insurrection, I’m A Mom Seeking Records Of Critical Race and Gender Curriculum, Now The School Committee May Sue To Stop Me.

"Our additional posts covered the developing story, which has received widespread national attention:



Teacher Unloads on 'Woke' CRT Agenda During Loudoun County School Board Meeting   . . .  Fortunately, efforts to intimidate and shut down opponents of CRT are not going so well. Not only have parents dropped straight fire on the school board every chance they get for all the world to see, but some teachers have gotten in on the action as well, as evidenced by the video below of a Fairfax County teacher going off on leftist indoctrination including the woke CRT agenda as well as providing strong words of encouragement for anyone too afraid to speak out for fear of retaliation." . . .

1948 called, it wants its human rights back

Article 20 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states, “Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.” This right is only selectively true. If you’re a ‘mostly peaceful’ protestor who feels like torching cars and looting a Nike store, then, sure, you have the right to peaceful assembly.

  Simon Black, Sovereign Man:  "On December 10, 1948, in the aftermath of World War II, the newly formed United Nations wanted to make a bold statement to counter all the atrocities the world had just witnessed.

"The previous decade had been almost nonstop genocide and devastation brought on by a Nazi doctrine of intolerance.

"And so the UN drafted a first-ever Universal Declaration of Human Rights in an effort to set a new tone for the future.

"In the very first article, for example, the document states

“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights… without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.”

"This is obviously a wonderful idea— race, gender, sexuality, etc. should be irrelevant characteristics.

"Yet in modern woke society, these are the ONLY characteristics that matter; it has become so ridiculous, in fact, that woke leaders now talk openly about segregation— separate schools, seperate dormatories, etc. for black students and white students.

"So this very basic human right— to be treated as a person, and not as a color, has been thrown out the window. But the contradictions to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights don’t stop there." . . . More...

Barack Obama Reminds Everyone He's a Disingenuous Hack

 RedState

"Lo and behold, the single most important issue to them apparently right now is Critical Race Theory. Who knew that was the threat to our Republic?"

 Obama and Me: How I Knew Obama Was a Bad Guy Before Anyone Else   "I've been writing about "Obama the bad guy" for many years. I was the first to name former President Barack Obama the head of the Obama crime family. I coined the phrase "Obamagate" to describe his reign of crimes against candidate and then President Donald J. Trump.". . . 

"Obama's public persona was always a scam. I knew the real Obama -- way before anyone else caught on." . . .

"If Obama sent a government agency after his college classmate Wayne Root, think about what he'd be willing to do to Donald Trump. The answer is anything and everything: spying; unmasking; leaking; framing Trump and his top advisors; and, eventually, in desperation after all else failed, a full-blown coup.

What happened when Barack Obama’s idealistic rhetoric collided with the cold realities of war and dictatorship in the Middle East and beyond.


. . . “ 'We caved,” says a former senior administration official who participated in the debates." . . .

.Just in case you forgot what a smarmy, disingenuous political hack Obama was, a recent interview on CNN will quickly remind you.   . . . During the interview, Obama was quick to blame Republicans for the division on both fronts saying that they have been “cowed” into accepting “a way of thinking about our democracy that would be unrecognizable and unacceptable even five years ago or a decade ago.”

"Yes, just imagine wanting to secure the border, secure elections, and not want to demonize an entire people as evil oppressors simply based on the color of their skin. The horror!

"He also invokes the Charlottesville Hoax repeating the repeatedly debunked claim that Trump said that the neo-Nazis marching were “good people” back in 2017." . . .

Brian Stelter has no shame

Stephen L. Miller

Is his ‘interview’ with Jen Psaki the most embarrassing segment CNN has ever aired? 

"What exactly are the qualifications to host a show on CNN? The most obvious seems to be an astonishing lack of professional shame — and I’m not even talking about the circus act Chris Cuomo’s been doing for the past year.

"Reliable Sources is the most ironically named show in all of cable news, given that the guest roster regularly includes Dan Rather. On this Sunday’s episode, host Brian Stelter partook in a highly embarrassing act of professional self-debasement, in a segment in which he offered schoolgirl giggles and petty star-gazing over White House press secretary Jen Psaki. Stelter acted like a privileged fan of Psaki, giddy to just be basking in her celebrity aura for a brief moment of her precious time. Stelter regularly claims his show covers all things media — when he actually just means all things Fox News. He usually invites other like-minded guests on to bicker about Fox News, like a clique from a bad Nineties teen movie. That’s all fine and good, as that is what CNN has chosen for its business model, but Brian Stelter also claims to be a real journalist who tackles hard issues." . . .

This administration knows Brian Stelter is a mark, someone who has advanced his career solely by sucking up to power, whether it be in the Obama and Biden White House or Warner Media. Stelter, remember, wrote a tell-all about NBC, but somehow forgot to include a chapter on Matt Lauer. Oops!


Concerns Arise Over Jen Psaki's Physical Health After Her Statement That Biden Is 'Hard To Keep Up With'

 Babylon Bee Parody   "WASHINGTON, D.C.—Health officials have raised serious concerns about the state of Press Secretary Jen Psaki's health after she revealed in a briefing that she "has trouble keeping up with Biden."

" 'This is bad-- really, really bad," said health expert Dr. Hans Gundersen to the press. "Biden is in really bad shape. We're not even sure Biden is legally still alive right now, or what exactly is holding him together or animating his limbs and causing sounds to come out of his mouth. It's a total mystery. I have fewer concerns about the health of the possum I ran over in my car this morning than I do with Biden. It's really, really not good. What was I even talking about? Oh yeah-- Psaki. If she's having trouble keeping up with that guy, then she's in serious trouble health-wise." 

"Several other doctors have come forward, diagnosing Psaki with a host of possible conditions, including chronic fatigue syndrome, actue liver and kidney failure, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 

" 'Any of these could be the cause of Paski having issues keeping up with Biden," said Gundersen. 

"Psaki is being urged to check herself into the White House Medical Unit as soon as possible.

" 'Please Jen! Before it's too late!" said Gundersen." 

Dare we even hope?

. . . Nor, do I like people who say, “I pray for you,” when they know that  that’s not so.  So many people have been hurt.  We can’t let that go on. Donald Trump
