Super weird comment. I don't know the magazine but how crazy do you have to be to think science is "white," and is pp aware of khazakhs' ethnic appearance?

Of course science, and actually math as well, are not “white” per se. The teaching of science and math today, however, must be viewed through an equity lens. Presentation of merely the view of the majority view, ie- the privileged view - is obviously no longer acceptable.

In the instant case, it is even more egregious. Kazak people are actually Asian.

I agree. We absolutely need to present the minority views, like astrology, homeopathy, flat earth, and "No one knows how magnets work." Feel free to start your own magazine.

Joke about this all you want. But bigotry, racism, and oppression are nothing to joke about.

How is this magazine oppressing people?

How much $$$ does it cost?

If magazines aren't free, they are oppressive?

If science and math educational materials are intentionally withheld from lesser-resourced communities (which are not coincidentally majority BIPOC in most cases), because the publishers unfairly demand exorbitant payments,’what do you want to call it?

I believe the burden is on you to prove that this magazine is overcharging for their product. Regardless, even the socioeconomically challenged should still be able to access these resources. That was the original purpose of public and school libraries. However, those institutions have other priorities these days than STEM education.

Responding to OP...Let's just say, for arguments sake, it was a Russian publication...Would you want your business to be negatively affected because of your presidents opinions and actions? There are plenty of people in Russia who don't agree with their president but you will write their business off because they are Russian? How do you support this way of thinking? I'm truly asking for an answer to this because I'd like to hear your thoughts as I don't understand why a magazine that you and your child have enjoyed would be possibly written off simply because of the background of the people publishing it and not the content.

I subscribed to it for my tween (now a teen) about a year ago, and we have liked it. I did notice some of the names in the masthead were Russian-sounding but thought nothing of that in a negative way. Today, my kid asked if it was a Russian export, so we did some digging. Apparently it's Khazak? I am not 100% clear on the geopolitics of that part of the world, so while I know it's not Russian, should I be concerned we're supporting a Russian effort or that it's perhaps not *not* propaganda? Any insight for those who know more than I do? I don't want to unsubscribe, or unsubscribe needlessly or out of unfounded bias, but I also am not sure and hadn't thought much about this before.

I don’t believe she said they were over-charging for the magazine.

Hi. I also think this is Russian (at least Russia state sponsored) magazine. Same way as Honest History magazine is. Kazakhstan is russian ally and is very much russia controlled. Russia spends big $$$ publishing and distributing content for kids worldwide, and a lot of that content is either russian soft propaganda or intentionally bad (inappropriate, violent, scary, stupid). The goal is to influence young defenseless minds.

FFS lobby your library to carry it. Purchase a subscription to your school. Donate all your issues to your school or to a "poor school" in the area. JFC. Save the world.

Not funny.

Social justice as a key priority in the access to, engagement with, and advancement in science and mathematics education for our country’s youth. A social justice stance requires a systemic approach that includes fair and equitable teaching practices, high expectations for all students, access to rich, rigorous, and relevant science and mathematics, and strong family/community relationships to promote positive science and mathematics learning and achievement. Equally important, a social justice stance interrogates and challenges the roles power, privilege, and oppression play in the current unjust system of science and mathematics education—and in society as a whole.

Got it. If everyone can't have a copy of the magazine, no one can have a copy.

I have been considering whether or not to order this magazine. STEM does not give one iota to anything other than concrete facts. I don’t care who you are politically, religiously, race, age, etc. I would like to know if the magazine is truly solid, evidence based material. Would any of you say yes to that?

[Anonymous]

I agree entirely. I too am considering a subscription. I wish to know if the articles are FACT /EVIDENCE based. I believe that libraries, schools, along with funding assistance from private groups and individuals, should have FACT BASED material available for all kids. Facts don’t care about race, religion, gender, etc. Making good, fact based articles available to everyone is all our responsibility. Altering the article to fit criteria, is propaganda.
