Miscellaneous


I can't believe there is a movement suggesting Maths is racist.  Yet thats what this episode goes in to bat against.    From Newsweek "An effort to portray traditional styles of teaching math as being non-inclusive is gaining steam, in part courtesy of the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft—as is mockery of the effort. The latest example of the latter is a screenshot of the Equitable Math curriculum that is supported with a $1 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to The Education Trust Inc."   "The screenshot making the rounds on Twitter is an image  of the EquitableMath.org website that begins with: "White supremacy culture shows up in math classrooms when... The focus is on getting the 'right' answer."   Note some may find this content confronting., or just plain stupid.   If you want to see the full short film  partly featured in this, it can be found here - https://youtu.be/iKcWu0tsiZM  This episode contains material used for fair use commentary, criticism, and educational purposes.
