Manipulation of the numbers start in early classrooms with Social Justice Mathematics. It will shortchange the students. m/r
Joseph Stalin once said, "Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed."

There are some subjects one
thinks would be immune from the input of social justice warriors. While
social studies are ripe for their meddling—as are literature and even
science these days—a subject like math should be resistant to their
tampering. Well, one would think that.
Unfortunately, a report at Campus Reform shows that
such an assumption would be wrong.
“
Teaching Social Justice through Secondary Mathematics” is a six-week online course designed by
Teach for America and offered through
EdX, which provides free online classes from top universities such as Harvard University, MIT, and Columbia University.
Unveiled earlier this month,
the course aims to teach math instructors how to craft lesson-plans that
incorporate social justice in order to raise their students’ awareness.
“Do you ask students to think
deeply about global and local social justice issues within your
mathematics classroom?” a course overview asks. “This education and
teacher training course will help you blend secondary math instruction
with topics such as inequity, poverty, and privilege to transform
students into global thinkers and mathematicians.”
