I am usually happiest when, hunkering down in my national security/foreign policy foxhole, I’m able to ignore most of the Left’s insanity. But once in a long while I have to jump out of the foxhole to attack something so outrageously dumb that it’s hard to believe a human, even a liberal, came up with it. The latest instance is the Oregon Department of Education’s (ODE) woke attack on mathematics.
Last week, the ODE promoted through its newsletter a short course called the “Pathway to Math Equity Microcourse.” The “microcourse” is designed for middle school teachers to teach them to use its toolkit for “dismantling racism in mathematics.”
The toolkit, according to a Fox News report, includes a list of ways “white supremacy culture” supposedly “infiltrates math classrooms.” The ones cited include that the “focus is on getting the ‘right’ answer’,” and students are “required to ‘show their work,’ ” which used to be keys to teaching math to grade-schoolers.
