We need math equality! or so says Rachael Maves, who once served as Deputy Superintendent
for Instruction and Measurement for the California Department of Education

"A new top official at the Tennessee Department of Education advocated previously in California for “math equity,” the concept that working to answer correctly is an example of racism and white supremacy."

Help me out, Libs.
How can you know if you achieved math equality if you can't work to getting the correct answer?
Oh, and libs...? Please don't work on getting the correct answer <wink>
@earl-of-trumps saidI only really hear right-wingers use “equity” in this way.

Always refering to liberals wanting equity (and diversity and inclusion).
On the left I do hear the yapping about diversity and inclusion. Never is equity mentioned.
However, I am all for diversion and inclusion. And, equally, I can’t listen to social justice warriors, the PC-brigade or anyone suggesting you can’t form an opinion about slavery unless your great-great gand parents were slaves.
Utterly absurd.
Now, all this being said, you are quoting from Breitbart. So, you deserve to be dragged out of the forum and shot as the rabid skaliwag you obviously are.
But to summarise: equity in math is BS. First of all it is maths. With a bloody S. And second of all, any rational person can tell any other person that if AB+AB = 2AB (not sure if it is, damn you maths teachers for failing me, but IF it is) in Crackerville, then it’s gonna be 2AB in Darkietown as well.

There is, of course, no " concept that working to answer correctly is an example of racism and white supremacy." All that Maves proposed in California was "keep[ing] all students in the same math classes through sophomore year of high school, rather than allowing some students to start taking advanced math courses in middle school.
It also recommends delaying when students take Algebra 1, encourages students not to rush into calculus and seeks to replace the notion that some students “have natural gifts and talents” with the “recognition that every student is on a growth pathway.”

This is a typical nonsensical twisting of recent ideas in education by right wingers with little if any understanding of them.

@shavixmir saidDon't take seriously when Earl and other right wing nuts distort a reform meant to improve math education. At the same time, math questions might have a correct answer but:

"For decades, America’s schools have tried and failed to close gaps on math test scores between White students and students of color. That’s not because math discriminates by race, and it’s not because some groups of students are inherently more suited to math. It’s because we give students of color and students from lower-income families the least access to critical resources, from the most qualified teachers to the best technology to the most advanced courses. And it’s because instructional materials and practices—even good ones—are influenced by culture and perspective."

@contenchess saidNo one is saying "math is racist".
Two clowns attack the source instead of what is actually happening 😆
Whatever helps you traitors sleep at night. 🙄
America is saying math is racist instead of telling students they are wrong.
Whatever Trevor 🙄 ...at the end if the day USA suffers...
The article created a false definition of "math equity" as a Strawman.

@no1marauder
With respect sir ...
Your leftist BS rag news networks have been saying math is racist.
