I thought DEI pushback was simply racist republicans being racists.

Then I read a proposed curriculum that asserted that Mathematics’ focus on students getting correct answers was indicative of white supremacist culture. I then looked into DEI further and was shocked to discover what is creeping into public school curriculums and lesson plans.[/quote]

This is utter BS
fear mongering from the rw crowd[/quote]

trust me, we WISH it was

So no evidence of this happening in a DC area private school (the topic of this thread)?

it's all over them, has been for years

what rock you been under[/quote]

1) that’s a whiney op-ed

2) it doesn’t give any examples of “getting correct answers was indicative of white supremacist culture”
[/quote]

That curriculum was posted pages ago. Do try to keep up. [/quote]

So like I said, zero evidence that “getting correct answers was indicative of white supremacist culture” is happening in private schools here.

I'm sure plenty of schools around here use materials from Tema Okun, the popularizer of all that stuff

but I guess what you need to see is a poster of it in the principal's office with the principal holding up their driver's license, that's fine

you should Google "Motte-and-Bailey" if you want to better understand your own argument[/quote]

Those of us with real life kids in real life schools know you’re full of crap. Go push your propaganda somewhere else. [/quote]

can you tell us which schools DON'T have it? we're actually looking; it would be helpful[/quote]

Easy. Zero schools in the area teach that “getting correct answers was indicative of white supremacist culture”.

including: "White Supremacy Culture," by Kenneth Jones and Tema Okun, ChangeWork

try harder

is this the part where "it's not happening but it's great that it is?"[/quote]

It's on a long list of resources for discussion. And doesn't even say "getting correct answers is indicative of white supremacist culture"

Zero schools in the area teach that. 
[/quote]

silly assertion by you - you can't prove a negative

DEIB is still 1) prove-ably loopy in its content, and 2) publicly endorsed by (nearly) all the schools around here[/quote]

My only assertion was that the PP who claimed that schools around here teach “getting correct answers is indicative of white supremacist culture" was full of crap.
