    Teaching Math Bolsters White Privilege Professor Says...

    It looks like our universities are becoming our new insane asylums. Check this out:

    An Illinois professor argues in a newly published book for math educators that the ability to solve geometry and algebra problems perpetuates white privilege.

          A lot of Mathematicians are Chinese or Indian. She's obviously projecting her own issues on to the topic, because if put to it she would darn well admit that math doesn't know or care about race, gender, etc. If you get it you get it. If not, oh well, find something else to do.

              Gee, smart guys invented math what a surprise. Well, kind of white if you consider Italians, Greeks, Romans white. She might recall that the Aztec's(some of her people) did some pretty great architecture and some basic astronomy. Maybe she will grow up and disavow this childisness.
              If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.
