The New Fake Math

.
In order to protect Black and Hispanic children from the alleged destructive effects
of racism and white supremacy, the State of Oregon is proposing that teachers no
longer expect right answers nor require kids to show their work.

In other words; all will be dumbed down in the name of equality rather than any
urged to excel; which of course assumes that, as a bloc, certain races are IQ
challenged; giving Caucasians and Asians an unfair advantage.

* Apparently the long-range goal is to have everyone laboring on collective farms
chopping cotton and harvesting lettuce.

I was a teacher of high school math and physics for 40 years. This is what happens when well intentioned amateurs with a social and/or political agenda take over important positions . I am reminded here of Trump's Education Secretary Betsy De Vos.

"orangemanbad" is a very hard lesson that should never be forgot in the political life of the USA. It points out just how fragile democracy is in the USA --- not when the threat is from the outside but when it comes from the inside. That threat is still a real and present reality.

And Canada is a Constitutional Monarchy. Both also happen to be democracies.

Democracy shemocracy. The world is run by bankers who create money as debt, collect interest, and have the controlling interests in all the major corporations, including (especially including) the corporate media most people willingly let themselves get hypnotized by. This includes the great US of A. Debtor nations, all.
