I downloaded that PDF file on “equitable math” https://equitablemath.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/1_STRIDE1.pdf

I don’t know if “anti-racist math” is the same thing or what.

But that PDF document claims that “a focus on getting the ‘right answer’” is “white supremacy”.

If that’s the case then every math teacher in the world practically is a “white supremacist” teaching “white supremacy”, including all of the ones in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.

If any teachers believe this crap then that’s going to destroy their ability to teach math. This is absolutely insane. Nobody will ever be able to design and build anything when getting the right answer to math problems is considered unimportant because objectivity is false and reality is just a subjective dream or something.

Try passing thermodynamics, engineering statics/dynamics, electricity and magnetism, calculus based physics, etc after learning this garbage. Even if you have computers/calculators you have to understand calculus to know which equation(s) to use and how to apply them. You would flunk out hard in Calc 101 if you can't get the right answer to simple math.
