many students in our freshman course in Calculus would agree with that definition, but I enjoyed Calculus. It was sad when after the first semester so many students dropped out

I loved it so much I ended up taking 21 hours of Calculus as mathematics was one of my majors. Physics was the other. I enjoyed it all.

Lol I guess “depresses the minorities” might be the correct term. If I remember my Calculus correctly, I can’t think of any theorem that was cruel or unjust.

It can be cruel to those of us trying to learn differential equations

So many questions......while Fox plays this up as a star story on their website, I can find it nowhere else.

I would hope, as presented that it is not true.

A few notes.....I noticed it never says how many folks attended on the one single day this was supposed to be offered. Nor does it say exactly who held this one session.

In researching, I did find a story from a year ago referring to a single yoga instructor who offered such a thing and the city reacted very poorly.

Let's hope it is just another "stir the pot" kind of thing that defines the source.

The training took place a month ago.
Does that not raise any flags?
Anybody?

And we have not heard one word about it until now?

All white participants were doing the bobble head agreement posture?

Something smells!

The scary part is that this thinking is not limited to Seattle

Are we all supposed to just give it away, bank accounts, houses, jobs, etc. A crazy world right now for sure.

That is nothing new at all. But, as a woman, she has special rights under the Federal Affirmative Action law. That law says that women are a "socially and econonically disadvantaged group", along with Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans. These groups have special employment rights above other groups. So, if she feels discriminated against, then she is lucky that she is not a white male. They have no special employment rights under the law.

The dehumanization of white people by BLM is exactly what Hitler did to the Jews in Germany. And blacks who make anti semitic remarks are given a free pass. Beware!

It is NOT REQUIRED at all.

It is a resource or teachers "The curriculum isn't mandatory, but provides a resource for teachers who want to introduce ethnic studies into the classroom vis a vis math"

Frankly, it is just a proposalfrom last year, so let's give these folks a break and keep to truth.

Interested where else you have seen this, and reminding that you still do not know details of this.....one day event....how many folks actually were there....who in city government was involved.

Lots of questions, but assume you have more to offer on "this thinking"

Read that...number of Fox affiliates on the google search. I went one step further to find the source of the program....a year ago very badly received in the city.

This was one day...did your deep research allow how many were actually taking it.

And google always needs back up.....note my calling that it is on Fox front page and Washington Examiner...all pretty much the same. No details and tied to a Twitter account

Interesting, I totally misunderstood what that proposal could possibly refer to. I always thought that there are two main languages; the language of words such as English, and the language of science such as math.

It is typical for news media outside of FOX to fail to report the real news, leave out important info, or only report sound bites that fit their own agenda.

Interesting....you feel what we have here is real news.

Who came to this ? How many came to this ? Where did the people work who came to this ? Did anyone come to this ?

I think you are spewing the "company line" with no facts

[Luisa]

Requirement or resource it supports BLM in dehumanizing whites like Hitler dehumanized the Jews. Racism doesn’t deserve a break.
