Oregon Dept. of Education: Asking Students To ‘Show Their Work’ In Math Class Is A Form Of White Supremacy

A mathematics guide sent out to Oregon schools tells educators that asking students to show their work in math class is a form of white supremacy.

In an email sent out by the Oregon Department of Education, teachers were encouraged to enroll in a course called “A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction.” The course came with an 82-page instructional guide that lists the ways in which white supremacy is perpetuated in math class.

“White supremacy culture infiltrates math classrooms in everyday teacher actions,” the guide reads. “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 guide offers a year-long framework for “deconstructing racism in mathematics.” It calls for “visibilizing [sic] the toxic characteristics of white supremacy culture with respect to math.”

Examples of classroom actions that allegedly perpetuate white supremacy include asking students to show their work, focusing on getting the right answer, tracking student success, and grading students.

The guide claims that asking students to show their work is “a crutch” for teachers to understand what students are thinking. This is considered white supremacy because it allegedly reinforces “paternalism” and “worship of the written word.” Worship of the written word is an alleged foundation of white supremacy culture, which reinforces documentation and writing skills.

Math classes that focus on helping students get the right answer are also a form of perpetuating white supremacy. The guide claims that calling answers “right and wrong” perpetuates objectivity, which is considered a tenet of white culture.

“The concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false, and teaching it is even much less so,” the guide reads. “Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuate objectivity.”

Tracking students is considered problematic as well. The guide considers tracking students a form of “paternalism and powerhoarding” as it is based on the idea that adults know what is right for students.

Certain grading practices are also a form of white supremacy, specifically participation grades. According to the organization “Grading for Equity,” which parrots the idea that grading practices reinforce inequity, grading any form of behavior leads to “inaccurate, confusing and even misleading grading.”

Not using “culturally relevant pedagogy” in word problems is considered a form of white supremacy too. According to the guide, it would be a good practice to tell students to “use Ankara fabric to teach mathematical concepts such as tessellations, fractions, area, percentages, etc.” But, if the problem told students to use wood or an object that does not have cultural relevance, this would be considered upholding white supremacy.

To be more culturally inclusive, teachers must “adapt homework policies to fit the needs of students of color.” Teachers are also asked to “identify and challenge the ways that math is used to uphold capitalist, imperialist, and racist views.”

The instructional material also suggests teachers expose students to examples of people who have used math as a form of “resistance.”

My oh my, I assumed this was a bad joke. Then I googled it. Unbelievable, Z time to get the hell out of there. Your daughter shouldn't go through **** like this. That may be the most dangerous bull **** I have ever seen. Q followers are dumb ****, but this makes them look brilliant. Man, I better stop, I'm starting to go off on one of my rants. Oh **** that there aren't 2 correct answers. Only white kids are capable, what an insult to every other color of people. That is the single most racist article I have ever read. Damn it, our children need quality educations not this ****. My niece and nephew are enrolled in a private school so they don't have to go through this **** ****. Sounds like dumbing school so the stupid **** can feel good. Well **** them. Learn, it isnt that hard. Learn, you need to. Learn, so you can have a good career. Learn, so you act like a human.

^ my chocolate brothers are knocking them out.

Spey the problem with Oregon schools is the bad teachers (few in numbers) and the system as a whole (98.2% of the problem). They’ve been on the “show your work” kick since I was in school but racism was more about actual racism then. You know like being a real POS and not some contrived obscure thing that allows leveraging differing opinions under the guise of a noble cause.

Frank... I learned a saying working in LE. "The standard is the standard". Similar to things I learned in the Navy. It means the acceptable behavior applies to everyone. The effort put forth should be the same. The way you treat people should be the same. Anyone who deviates is reminded... the standard is the standard.

The military is unrepentant. The cream rises to the top. They see no color. Leaders will have followers. I've mentioned Master Chief Jack Delucas before. He was my second "leader" when I was a boot. Senior Chief Bill Stallard was the first, but nobody had an impact on me like Master Chief Delucas. He was a black man.

That man got me to work hard and learn my job so I was great at it and I was happy to do it. He taught me that leadership is getting someone to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.

Systemic racism does not exist. It just doesn't. If it did, why does every other ethnicity that reaches our shores excel? Why do Asians do well in school? It's not only Asians. Other cultures and ethnicities do it, too. How? We're racist, right?

I have an acquaintance I occasionally see at the gym. She's from Belize, so she's not "African American", but she is black. She asked me why the blacks in America were so mad. She's a nurse. Makes a very good living. Put forth the effort.

Equal opportunity doesn't mean equal results. It's what you do with the opportunity. It's the effort. You get out what you put in, my friend

For the race baiters, yes, racism does exist here and anywhere you involve humans, but it is not systemic to the US as much as it is systemic to humans, of ALL color and creed.

I was funnin' on the silly idea that excelling in math is thought by many to be an Asian characteristic while the OP says white kids are causing the problem...

guess I failed at Comedy 101

Knew (more than one) guy who used to say that it was a compliment that so many people believed that Jews are good with money. He couldn't understand why broad statements about any race or ethnicity is flawed thinking even when those beliefs appear to be positive.

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Spearheading Left-Wing Effort to Declare Math ‘Racist’

By Eric Lendrum February 18, 2021

The bizarre far-left effort to label math curricula in schools as racist is being funded to the tune of hundreds of millions by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

The link is found on the website homepage of the Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction, the group behind the push to label an entire academic subject as racist. The organization consists of 25 different educational organizations, which share the false belief that basic math practices, such as a student finding the right answer and showing how they did their work, are symbolic of “institutionalized racism.”

math problem: Three brothers are on the street corner, in front of the liquor store, which will close in five minutes. Tyrone has a quarter in his pocket. D'Quan has a dollar bill. LaAnthony has three dimes. A quart sized bottle of Schlitz Malt liquor costs $1.50...how many bottles of Schlitz can the brothers buy?

answer: none, because they couldn't figure out how much money they have in time before the store closed...
