Crap or get off the pot about CRT. Name the school district that teaches it.

Sunday Apr 17 2022 and still nobody can name the school district where CRT is taught.

If anyone finds a district teaching CRT at grade school level, I’ll find you a district living under Sharia law.

Oh yeah, remember when that was the GOP rallying cry? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Of course, when this CRT nonsense fails to gain traction anywhere else and GOP brain dead move on to the next culture war flashpoint, no one will ever hold these elected morons accountable. If they can convince fucking waste of space voters that Sharia law is coming to America, they can convince them of anything.

They have an evil boogeyman list. Some get recycled multiple times

Muslims
blacks
gays
trans
women

Used to be Putin but that died with Trump. Now they haven't met a dictator they didn't like
 
There is one problem here that affects the whole country. The publishers that make school textbook will 'dumb down' all books to meet Fl requirements
I don't think the math is their problem with the books. I think it's the inclusivity they want to get rid of. They want text books that only have good white male names like John Smith and Zack Taylor. They want text books that only portray "Christian Values". Can't give the impression that other sorts of people are also real citizens of the country.
 
Evidence of CRT! /s
The examples mention "measuring racial prejudice" and the "Implicit Association Test."

Another says the "SEL Objective" is to help students "build proficiency with social awareness as they practice with empathizing with classmates."

The fourth includes a word or phrase that has been redacted. It also says, "This feature is designed to build student agency by focusing on students' social and emotional learning."

The images were posted with a disclaimer that reads, in part: "These examples do not represent an exhaustive list of input received by the Department. The Department is continuing to give publishers the opportunity to remediate all deficiencies identified during the review to ensure the broadest selection of high quality instructional materials are available to the school districts and Florida's students."

Overall these GOP people pushing this garbage are complete jacka$$-idiots BUT wth is that stuff about racial bias and empathy doing in math text-books anyway?

Yes it's interesting to me and a good lesson IMO but wouldn't it be more appropriate in an American history class? (or maybe something like "Ethics" ??)

🙄

Just because I/we approve of a political policy, it doesn't make it A-ok to slip in an "agenda" to supposedly objective math text books. Smacks of manipulation to me.

Fox is already running this as proof of CRT in school which is bullshit!

First it isn't CRT. Second none of these lessons are in schools.

I agree, that kind of example should not be in math class but because Republicans are dishonest shits, they would object calling it CRT in any class.

Why can't a math lesson be about the real world?

Knowing how to do fractions on their own is not necessarily useful. Knowing how to apply and understand fractions though is. Like knowing that black and brown people are incarcerated at a vastly higher rate than their fraction of the general population..

That's actual math in application, and helps us understand the world we live in better.

Better real world lesson on fractions might be dividing up a pizza.

I understand not wanting to exacerbate someones sensitivities, which is why perpetual and ritual Koran Burning/Mohamed Drawing seems to undermine its' original merit, but the Conservative objection here is in itself Disgusting. It is blatantly racist and they need to Own it or fucking Repent from it.

Especially if the idea is to teach kids math .... again I agree with the viewpoint expressed by that word-problem BUT math text books are not an appropriate platform for politics of any kind.

Obviously (I hope) it can however unless you're biased to the point of no longer being objective yourself, intentionally wording a math-equation in a children's text-book to be politically "controversial" is pretty clearly just silly and pointless.

The lesson could have been taught just as effectively (perhaps more-so) if the question was about counting cookies or birthday-balloons.

Math is attempting to teach more data analysis and kids connect with real data more than made up data.

I agree it shouldn't be pushing an agenda or viewpoint, though.
 
If the numbers they are being given aren't messed with it doesn't seem to be an agenda. An agenda is being pushed by those being made uncomfortable by observable reality. But I forgot that this is supposed to prevent people from feeling uncomfortable, which is what observable reality often is.
