Is Seattle Teaching that "Math is Racist"?

"Is Seattle teaching that 'math is racist'?"

"W": No end to the BS.

N.S.: When I was a kid during the 1960s and '70s, our Weekly Reader from the Scholastic Book Services promoted "relevance" as a cornerstone of education. The problem is that "relevance" is a vacuous idea that only means what you sneak into its definition.

What thinker is the most "relevant" to human life? Plato, of course. But Plato is the last name one of these mooks will tell you. For them, relevance is an anti-intellectual (anti-abstraction, anti-objectivity, anti-fact) goal that is limited to, say, the last five minutes of a racist black child's attention span, or the racial socialist talking point du jour of cadres of teacher's ed profs, MSM ed fanatics, teacher's union crooks, and black racial supremacist, reconquista, and white communist "activists."

So, hack "teachers" try and incorporate racist talking points into math lesson plans, which is why white females periodically become targeted by national group hates, when they try to work slavery into math classes.

This history is so wretched ("ratchet"?) and long-lasting, that already in 1938, John Dewey wrote a little book, Experience and Education, denouncing those who had hijacked his pedagogical movement, and who ran teacher's ed programs in his name. A lot of good that did him, or children!

Questions erupted online last week, shortly after Seattle Public Schools released a draft of new learning objectives that integrate ethnic studies into math, and after conservative news outlets began berating the district.

Being responsible is racist--tied with being respectful to others--for extremely racist behavior.
Following the law?Yup--racist.
Giving info to police about lawbreakers is so damn racist.
Telling the truth--racist.
Why ARE all these things racist?That's because these are traits that most white people strive for and are accomplished at--while blacks are mostly incapable of mastering these qualities.
Guess what,because I just told the truth--I'm a racist too.
