Rochelle Gutierrez, an esteemed professor of education at the University of Illinois recently published a paper outlining the racist structures of learning math – which is just ridiculous.
But why are we so surprised that the ideological party that gave us the KKK is still so committed to subjecting minorities?
Education used to be seen as the gateway to success. Activist fought hard for the rights of ALL children to receive a good education. Only for the racist liberal social justice warriors and ‘academics’ to come out claiming learning a certain mathematical principle is encouraging white supremacy.
What would you guess the most racist mathematical discipline is? Because yes, one mathematical subject is now ‘academically’ shown to be more racist than all of the rest! Head on over to the next page to find out what math subject might no longer be around when your grandkids start middle school. Heck if they’re black this subject might even be cut in as soon as a few years…
I have always mourned the loss of the cultivation of any child’s potential because of poverty, race or cultural impediments. I used to volunteer with our local public schools and spend one on one time with the young children who could benefit from it. I believe that underneath what was often an “inability
to focus and achieve”, many of them were
probably very bright kids.So I am shocked that an educator would even imply that these kids were victims of “racism” because these classes are “too difficult” for them! I believe that genetics
certainly plays a part in our kids native intelligence, but put a child in a family where there is poverty, lack of nurturing,
neglect, violence, drugs, lack of good role models, even bad, unqualified, even uneducated teachers, and I’ll bet you’ll find a kid who is an underachiever. So why would an educator want to deny a
child who is struggling in school the opportunity to excel? That, to my thinking is the very definition of racism! It seems to me that if we can ban the advertising of cigarettes on TV and change the cultural view of smoking as being bad for us,
perhaps we can use mass media and drum into these small children that yes! They are smart! Show them how great it feels to master a skill and watch that feeling feed on itself! I’m an old woman now. I never studied teaching. But having been an underachiever myself, I wish I had. I would love to bring out the genius in so many of these youngsters that the author of this article claims are “victims” if being forced to learn algebra and geometry! We can’t undo some of the challenges these kids have to deal with, but it is also, it seems to me, a big mistake to assume they can’t learn and are being victimized because by pushing them to succeed!

If you’re intellectually lazy, don’t pull the race card if somebody expects you to try. Don’t insult your entire race just because YOU are fucking stupid. Race isn’t a handicap or affliction. Knock off the fucking passive white supremacy.
Esteemed professor…LOL! She is a product of affirmative action nothing more..
Why they can’t figure it out
Idiot
These liberals have lost their minds.
