OR, pursuant to yesterday's topic: Bill Gates Sponsoring Lessons in How to Cleanse Math of ‘White Supremacy’ Condemned in the lessons are the “focus” that insists students get the “right” answer and requiring students to “show their work.” “White supremacy culture infiltrates math classrooms in everyday teacher actions,” the lessons charge. “Coupled with the beliefs that underlie these actions, they perpetuate educational harm on black, Latinx, and multilingual students, denying them full access to the world of mathematics.” The lessons inform faculty, “Antiracist math educators deconstruct the ways they have been taught math to learn and teach math differently.” Subtopics include “ethnomathematics,” “thoughtful scaffolding” and having students “reclaim their mathematical ancestry.” Also important, it explains, is using math as “resistance,” and that includes teaching “students of color” to “disrupt the disproportionate push-out of people of color” in math and STEM fields. Oh, but don't you dare ask them to actually do the work and prove it. Grrrrrrrrr.

Reply to vxbush in 1: Podesta is a Clintonista. So of course that's what he's doing.

Reply to vxbush in 6: 7.2 million illegals during Biden. Moved to states with Motor Voter. The eligibility process for can't be verified. Strategically located enough of these illegals and they can take the election.

Reply to vxbush in 8: I think everyone is just envious that they didn't think of describing the world with math.

Note that the only significant internal dissent the Democrats are facing is from the "Death to the Jews!" wing of the party. There is barely a peep from, say, "liberals" who actually have some fealty to the idea of civil liberties, and voice any objection to Biden and Obama Administration's abuse of power in squelching free speech by censoring and co-opting online platforms.

Reply to Occasional Reader in 14: Are there any "liberals" left in the (D) party? On the other side I don't see many "conservatives" left in the (R) party, the party itself is run by the Fabian's as far as I can tell. Traditional "liberals" and "conservatives" are closer to each other than either of the parties.

Yes, I've noted this as well, as have several authors that have crossed my path lately. So much for free speech. They are happily interested in preventing any speech they don't agree with.

If they're there, they are quiet to avoid detection and/or trouble. If they are actively in a role in politics, the party pushes them to toe the line in order to stay in power.

When tolerance mainly serves the protection and preservation of a repressive society, when it serves to neutralize opposition and to render men immune against other and better forms of life, then tolerance has been perverted. ... Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left.” ― Herbert Marcuse, Repressive Tolerance

And yet compared to today's Left, he's relatively honest about what he's doing.
