The sentence "the concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false" is itself unequivocally false. Also, using a six-syllable word in your equity guidelines is super white supremacist.

That is the issue with post-modernist critical theories, they object that there is any actual truth that can be formed in the basis of reality, only personal preference. To them nothing is objective and they reject objectivity entirely.

2+2=4,

uhm actually a truncated 2.5 + a truncated 2.5 = 5.

Yeah, but 2+2=4

No, 2+2=5

It is pure logical if I count two apples then I grab two more and I count them, there’re four.

But if we cut the apples in half and count them, there’re 8 apple slices. So 2+2=8

But didn’t you just state the 2+2=5

Yeah, 5=8, they are just symbols on a piece of paper.

But the abstract implications of 5=8 is insane. If we subtract 5 from both sides, 0=3 and therefore any number n will equal itself plus or minus 3m, where m is a number.

Yeah, that makes perfectly logical sense.

So 1 apple is now 4, 7, 10, -2, 1+3i, etc apples. It fails the identity property.

An apple can identify as whatever it wishes.

But that isn’t conducive to reality.

Shut up bigot, 2+2=5 and apples can be whatever they want.

Some dumbass actually used the Wendy's 2 for $5 menu as proof that 2+2 can equal 5 🙄

That sentence is the equivalent of "Only a Sith deals in absolutes".

Six-syllables, give or take a few syllables. In ebonics I pronunce it with three syllables.

Wait wait wait, maybe there is some truth here. 5.56 is both equal to, and unequal to .223 or so I have read.

So this is why .6 of a Biden vote is equivalent to 1.0 of a Trump vote?

This is incredibly dumb. Of course, there is room in math for critical thinking and possible multiple answers, but that is a product of interpretation of data. Math is just the tool used to provide the data and it must be 100% precise. Fucking retards...

If they keep up with teaching fake math, that's just more job opportunities for the people who learn math and science correctly. Maybe it's better to just let them shoot themselves in the foot with this one, as long as you make sure your children learn real Math?

A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction

A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction is an integrated approach to mathematics that centers Black, Latinx, and Multilingual students in grades 6-8, addresses barriers to math equity, and aligns instruction to grade-level priority standards. The Pathway offers guidance and resources for educators to use now as they plan their curriculum, while also offering opportunities for ongoing self-reflection as they seek to develop an anti-racist math practice. The toolkit “strides” serve as multiple on-ramps for educators as they navigate the individual and collective journey from equity to anti-racism.

Using a set of data, analyze it in multiple ways to draw different conclusions.

That sounds more inclined to the social "sciences" than mathematics

Same website also says that "showing work" is racist. So, you can't even ask how you got your 12873412983 different answers to the problem

It used to bother me when people asked why I chose to homeschool, but after seeing shit like this I dont even know how they can ask such a question anymore

'white supremacy is wanting the right answer and not the 'nice' answer. Kids who aren't white might feel better being praised for saying 10+10 = 70 instead of racistly correct. Math isn't objective it is whatever we feel like and that will have no consequences on society whatsoever'

Who are we to deny them that positive reinforcement of being praised for being completely uneducated in math?

Problems that have complex, competing, or multiple answers have those answers because there is a way to determine right answers for problems with multiple solutions.

"Unpacking the assumptions" = "Determining the predicates of the system" = "Learning how to give right answers"

"analyze [data] in multiple ways to draw different conclusions" is not about finding a mathematical solution.

The thinking behind this is fundamentally important to understand, and underlies much. "Objectivity" is impossible and/or bad, yet you must accept that proposition as the only objective truth.

People who don't learn to think critically are more inclined to believe BS like the Green New Deal.

And people are wondering why Boeing is having such a rough time keeping its planes in the air with all those diversity hires. Maybe if they got the right answer on their engineering and math equations? Nah, the right answers are for white people.

"the right answer". How can you be so blind to your patriarchal racism? No, it's ma'am!

2 + 2 = this country is screwed. I double-checked the math.

Yeah. I’d love to drive under or over a bridge engineered by the new woke breed of engineers that done need to be accurate with their calculations.

Why do you think Boeing's planes are falling apart? Because their diversity hire engineers are too focused on bringing racial justice to slapping together an airplane instead of doing it the right way using correct answers from mathematics.

No math = no houses, no cars, no techology. They literally want us living in caves, naked, freezing, eating bugs. Enjoy running water and grocery shopping while you can everyone...

These are ruthless mercenaries cutting the throat of civilization.

If you're not involved in your child's education yet, GET INVOLVED.

End public schools NOW. RIGHT NOW. Refund your taxes and let you choose for yourself where to send your child to learn math and not mental illness.

Since problems can have multiple answers my answer is " Black supremacy" is at fault in math classrooms.
