Read the article a little more closely.

Most notably, states like Oregon and Virginia have come under fire for promoting ideas about racist structures in mathematics. One program in particular alleged that White supremacy infiltrated math classrooms and manifested itself in the focus on finding the "right answer." It similarly blamed White supremacy for objectivity as "the belief that there is such a thing as being objective or ‘neutral.'"

Sorry, SG, they're nutcases. Sort of quadratic equations, there is only one right answer in math. Someone who feels that mathematics is discriminatory suffers from severe delusional paranoia.

Pretty sure you're talking about "Core" education. I'm perfectly fine with an entire generation of utter imbeciles as it gives me job security for as long as I want to work and since I work in software development, "Core" anything isn't going to work well for them.

Your point is correct that those who have actual skills benefit relative to those who are dumbed down, but intentionally inflicting this upon children is criminal IMO. The losers will tend to stir up shit though, and it doesn't bode well for the future of the country to have the next generation hyper focused on which bathroom to use, microaggressioins, queer studies, etc while the Chinese are focusing on real STEM.

You -> preacher

Me -> choir

It'll get straightened out after a bit.

That's fine until you get old and those imbeciles are responsible to configuring your life support machine ;-)
