It says expecting a student to get the right answer is racism and white supremacy.
So math is a racist tool and is therefore racist
Where does it say that math is racist?
Aren't you ashamed of what teaching has become?

p 10Teachers, in order to shift your practice toward antiracist math education, it is necessary to critically examine the ways in which white supremacy culture permeates your own math classrooms.
p 12White supremacy culture shows up in math classrooms when...
” p 15“[A critical centering on dynamic community languages, valued practices, and knowledges] means that educators don't see students’ languages (e.g., Navajo, African-American Language, Spanish, ‘standard’ English), literacies (e.g., Hip Hop, poetry, social media, street art) or ways of being (e.g., spiritual beliefs, ways of relating to adults and elders) as somehow marginal or to simply be added to the existing curriculum. Rather, these facets of students' selves and communities must be centered meaningfully in classroom learning, across units and projects.
p 26White supremacy culture shows up in math classrooms when...
Procedural fluency is preferred over conceptual knowledge.
p 30White supremacy culture shows up in math classrooms when...
“Good” math teaching is considered an antidote for mathematical inequity for Black, Latinx, multilingual students.
Instead...
This reinforces either/or thinking by reinforcing stereotypes about the type of mathematical education that certain groups of students receive. It allows the defensiveness of Western mathematics to prevail, without addressing underlying causes of why certain groups of students are “underperforming,” a characterization that should also be interrogated. It also presupposes that “good” math teaching is about a Eurocentric type of mathematics, devoid of cultural ways of being.
p 36“Elsewhere, I have argued that the practice of school mathematics in the US regulates the child by privileging: algebra/calculus over geometry/topology/spatial reasoning; rule following over rule breaking; Western mathematics (culture free) over ethnomathematics (recognizing that even academic mathematicians are a culture); the ‘standard algorithm’ over invented or international algorithms; abstraction over context (‘just pretend this is real world’); mind over body; logic over intuition; and encouraging students to
“critique the reasoning of others” over appreciating their reasoning. Not only can these repeated practices over a lifetime serve to dehumanize students and teachers in classrooms, the narrative about mathematics being a pure discipline, reflective of the natural world around us, universal, with an almost unilaterally positive relationship to society’s advancement, leaves many humans unable to challenge this narrative to consider other ways of doing mathematics.” (Gutierrez 2017)
p 58White supremacy culture shows up in math classrooms when...
“Real-world math” is valued over math in the real world.
Instead...
Often the emphasis is placed on learning math in the “real world,” as if our classrooms are not a part of the real world. This reinforces notions of either/or thinking because math is only seen as useful when it is in a particular context. However, this can result in using mathematics to uphold capitalist and imperialist ways of being and understandings of the world.
Have you (or anyone here) actually read through this rubbish? It isn't just about math being racist, it's about turning math into radical Leftist propaganda and indoctrination. Here's some examples from that manual:

You seem dumb. Did you graduate from high school?
I take it from your comment that you approve of what's in this manual? At least I've read it...
You infer wrongly.
Then why denigrate Tinfoil for posting this manual and asking a relevant question?
Please stop pretending you're not a troll.
I am not a troll, I'm a Thread Killer. Happy? That still doesn't answer my question though. Why denigrate Tinfoil for posting this manual and asking a question?
