California is set to adopt new math teaching principles that are based in critical race theory. These changes, which include deemphasizing calculus and pulling programs for academically gifted students, will "apply social justice principles to math lessons." These guidelines do not instruct educators to teach critical race theory, but rather use critical race theory as a guide for the formation of teaching principles. Critical race theory is not being taught to students, but taught to teachers, who are then meant to use it to formulate their own practices.

Dumbing down math has been going on for a long time. With calculators knowing addition and multiplication tables became a lost cause. When I was in high school we multiplied numbers using logarithms. Nowadays, many business don't have numbers on cash registers. Just pictures of what they sell. And with credit cards there's no need to deal with numbers. And with cell phones you just push the picture of who you want to call. Wonder what the future holds.

Some groups excel at athletics or dance. Those disciplines must be racist.

This is the biggest load of bee ess since the “new math” of the fifties. It’s outrageous beyond belief. Keep this crap up and it won’t be long before the official language is the United States becomes Mandarin Chinese. Somebody had to step up and slap down these nut jobs!

When I was in nursing school many many moons ago, we had to get a certain grade in math or you were out of the program. Converting milligrams to
grams, micrograms, for drawing up drugs for injection, calculate drops per minute for IV, silly stuff like that. So now what, they’re going to give it a rough estimate and hope they don’t kill the patient?

I remember 7th grade homework requiring me to measure the width of a river and the height of a tree using nothing more than basic knowledge of similar triangles and the length of my own pace. Today, a question would be: If I'm allowed to walk away with $950 in merchandise, and sweaters are $135, how many can I take without threat of arrest?

2 Black cookies + 1 White filling equal ONE Oreo cookie. Math may be racist, but it sure tastes good. You see : 2 + 1 = ONE.

What they are indicating is that California needs an “equitable” amount of future affirmative action engineers. Then after a bunch of bridges and buildings come tumbling down they can always blame Trump and earthquakes.

They don’t want Californians to be able to figure out that living in CA no longer adds up. I’m a former Californian, now a political refugee living in Idaho!

They are not stupid, they are not "nuts", they are EVIL. Their intent is to destroy education because truly educated, logical thinking people, not brainwashed drones are not going to go along with the left's plans for total control of our live, erasure of all freedoms.
They want all things to be either MANDATORY or PROHIBITED. NO choices for the ordinary people, all choices made by the commissars.

The purpose of this is CA can no longer find math teachers who understand math.

Soon the only people from California going to college will be orientals and athletes. D1 programs don't generally seem to care if an athlete can count. This already is a source of 'diversity'.

Tell it to my calculus professor Who is Black as the Ace of Spades or for that matter my doctor (whatever you call them now). One taught me math and physics and the other keeps me alive in my 70's. God Bless them both. And then as a piano player I have a lot of people I have learned from
Up your racism. Go stew

California will turn their SINOs (Soon-to-be-Students-in-Name-Only) into Race-Parrots. Dividing us up according to race is the Cultiural Marxist playbook. Will California's PARENTS stand for this or are they too busy to much care? Since they could keep the hack Gruesome Newsom in place, they are capable of anything. Nice knowin' ya amigos.

Don't worry, folks, this is only for public schools. The private schools will still exist to expand the gulf between rich and poor, and maintain it.

As long as liberals only hurt their own there is nothing I can do about it. I'm lucky if I can save my own people from them.
