  1. I suggest paying the teachers with a new form of math:

    40 hours per week times zero = $0

      1. Equitably Puhleeze. Whereas white teachers zero means $ zero however, POC zero means however much $$$ they wants.

    1. While I was teaching at Armpit College, I often encountered this math:

      0 effort + 0 work correct = 100% course grade

      subject to the condition:

      (student feelings) x (student expectations of graduation) >> demonstration of having learned course material

      If that’s not enough, how about:

      actual earned grade << 50% = 50% recorded course grade

      Yeah, I've seen cases in which students failed the course and still got bumped up to a passing grade. It was all my fault, of course, because I made the course "too tough".

      1. Thank you for no longer agreeing to be a whore. Hold your head high here, if nowhere else.

        (I must confess that I don’t know what else to say. You’ve seen the results of what you taught and what is sought, and your life is harder because of it. But you can hold your head high.)

      2. That is all well and good in a “safe” environment. Our father expected his sons and daughters to have at least 75% in all of their high school courses. This was based on his officer training at the beginning of his military service in Canada’s air force in September 1939. Every Friday, an exam would be given on the course material which had been taught the previous 5 days. If you had a “C” or less, you were kicked out of officer training and sent back to “grunt” training. At 75% you know most of the course and what you do not know, you know who to ask or where to look. He said he became much better as the weeks went on and then when he flew “search and destroy” missions over the North Atlantic for German U-Boats. He and his fellow crew members lasted the whole war, working out of northern Ireland.
        Not knowing the course material meant that you died and in a horrible way.

    2. Nah, let’s introduce the new new math: they work 40 hours a week and pay for the privilege.

    1. The first African American winner of the US National spelling bee is home-schooled. Don’t expect the media to advocate for it, though. CRT is their Kool Aid.

    2. You have more faith in today’s parents than I do. People are pretty stupid nowadays and they are the ones who are doing most of the breeding.

      Besides, who needs to balance a cheque book in a socialist country where prosperity is but a memory.

  2. So the idea is not to teach math, but to teach about math usage in selected current, historical and ancient cultures (omitting all of Europe and North America), [approved] BIPOC individuals associated with math, and how math is used as a racist tool (“If 10% of all robberies are committed by blacks, it is clear that percentages is a tool to highlight racism”).

    Content is out; context is in.

    1. Another 300 BIPOC were shot in Chicago (again), 18 of those BIPOC died. Hence nobody done got nothing cause the statistics are racist.

  3. Nothing new about that, it’s exactly the mathematics that Boob Rae, Dalton McGuinty and Kathleen Wynne have been using when setting the budget. BTW hows them electricity rates these days.
    And if this triggers any Ontariowe-ans , BC nor any other province is any better. Canaduh is done.

    1. It’s why the USA hasn’t had an actual Budget since Bush … cause Obama graduated at the top of his African bush math class … where it takes a village to reconcile a budget. And if that village is racist? Then one must keep reconciling till every last white Senator and Rep. is FAKE elected out of office. Then, the Budget will become the biggest white Eurocentric number ever printed on paper … because the BIPOC Budget is anything anyone wants it to be. And if’n you’ze wants to pay yours cell phone bill in shells … then that’s what it “costs”.

    1. No, No, No.

      2 + 2 = 3, because the Evil White Man steals everything from the Noble Minorities.

      1. No, no, no … 2+2=22 becaus’n the multi-Zulu effect of taking 10x each dollar off’n some white suckah then adding 2 more for your times and troubles.

        And it just seems logical that a 2 added to the right side of another 2 … looks like … 22. And it’s about time that ours maths started looking like our community.

        Note: I would never have posited such an obviously racist notion, expressed in racist language … if the BIPOC community hadn’t started it. So. You want to call math “racist” and white privilege and whatnot … then I am going to mock the fuck out of you. In the most racist terms possible. Idiots. This nonsense doesn’t deserve one second of respectful consideration. Not one “second” of the white man’s racist construct of “time” which was only created so BIPOC people could be fired … after months of documenting their tardiness (another white term of enslavement) … as required by a terribly racist HR Dept.

    1. If I remember the eng .co was an all female co.I guess math is hard for them too.

      1. But at least they’re diverse! Who cares if it collapses as long as diversity standards are met.

    2. Was down there then and I thought sure is a good thing they didn’t build the Skyway on 95 to Sarasota.

      1. The only result possible, in my mind. The engineers discriminate against people who can’t pass rudimentary engineering exams. Disgraceful. In one swoop the retards at the Alberta Human Rights Commission tried to give equal rights to qualifications to other retards. It had to fail.

  4. Maths is subjective..
    Oh yeah,tell that to the trading partner you short and cheat cause you feel the shares should be different.
    When they come looking for their contracted payment.
    Then you will learn a very old lesson of history.
    Wars have causes,major cause is persons without honour..
    Gee getting your affairs right,requires maths.

    Never mind,I already see the flaw in my logic,these are parasites,there is no fair exchange of goods or services in their world,for they produce neither,this theory is based on their entitlement right to take,so maths is not required when your only concept is gimee more ,more and more.

    1. You’re assuming numeracy among those who are owed. Far worse would be “I don’t feel that this is my proper share.”

      1. C Miner.
        Damn right I am assuming numeracy on the part of those owed payment.
        They must have such skills to have produced anything to be traded.
        And such people are extremely unwilling to forgive and forget,when ripped off by a fool.
        Such “trades” usually will involve the supplier providing sustenance in exchange of less essential “services”.
        And our in-numeric parasitic overload seldom are trading from such an advantage.

    2. Yes John, parasites simply take and consume without any accounting being necessary, even when they have consumed everything. I believe that is what can truly be called a zero sum game.

  5. One room country schools of the 1920s grade 10 exams were at the level of first or second year university of the 1980s. That trend has continued and that curriculum is proof that the worst thing to happen to education is professional institutional and unionized educators and the psychotic politicians that attempt to control them. That shite is pure indoctrination of societal self-destruction – post modern nihilism masquerading as math. You can’t reform something that debauched, you can only eliminate it. Close all public schools, initially offer vouchers to parents for competing private and completely unregulated alternatives.

    1. Back in the 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s…
      No matter what field I chose to work in, life would give it that extra challenge to deal with.
      Sure gave me alot of stories but holey shit, it was made more difficult than it needed to be.

      1. I pretty much ignored society on up in the 2000’s.
        Just stayed family oriented and built a shit load of decks and renovations in my area.
        Building loghomes and timberframes really gave me a good eye in quality construction.
        Now that takes alot of mathematics in costs and materials needed to project the outcome of what your constructing.
        Building accuracy to exact measurements really showed

        1. I thought construction followed the 5sec. rule? If I walk into a room, or am looking at a home from outside … and I don’t notice a defect in less than 5sec. … then it doesn’t exist. 🙂 That’s what many building contractors have told me …

          1. Sharp, crisp and solid looking is what I look for.
            Wavy, wonky and weak is usually what I see around.

  6. I have heard of idiotic activists claiming that math is racist because it requires a correct answer, but never in my wildest nighmarish imaginings did I ever think any government would be stupid enough to embrace that idea.

  7. When they claim that compilers are racist I’m going to retire and live off Canadian welfare in Mexico or something. I figure it’s a few years out still.

  8. Does that now mean that I can tell the bank that my investments are two or three times larger than they say?

    1. Funny thing … my bank told me my investments hadn’t gained any value whatsoever during an unprecedented rise in the stock market. Turned out their FEES sucked up all those gains. That was early in my career … a lesson well learned. Thanks, Wells Fargo for a relatively inexpensive lesson in your consumer fleecing strategies.

  9. I still remember when I was a kid in a four room school in rural Ontario. I had a hard time with basic math, and I had a wonderful teacher who would sit down with me after class. She would use wooden sticks to teach me basic addition and subtraction. Simpler days and simpler schools. Fond memories of looking out the large windows in the Fall at the colourful maple trees, and watching the Fall fair set up. No one talked about social justice issues and school was a place where you actually learned some useful things. We still used ink wells at that time. I’m sure some of you older “settlers” remember them. And leather straps were proudly displayed in the principal’s office. The principal was also a farmer.

  10. Just wait until these nitwits taught this crap begin to build bridges and infrastructure…..

    1. My first thought, too.
      Also, for us slow learners, how do you decide how much flooring to buy or what size air conditioner to install…..?

      1. Exasperated;

        In Biden’s new world you won’t be allowed to have air conditioning: due to global warming prevention.

    2. I did some work at a mans place that teaches urban planning at a local college, maybe the yard being in disorder and his arrogant attitude doesn’t mean what I think it does. But I have a feeling it may.

  11. Give them all a million dollars – they won’t know the difference (especially if it is only $.50). After all, a million can equal $.50 in the new math and it doesn’t matter anyway, because. (sarcasm off).

    Idiocracy fulfilled.

  12. As a parent of a 17 year old with Down syndrome….I can show you some references to information I have in books that sounds very similar to this. Do black people have a clue that their “equal outcome” programs are based a lot on integrating and accommodating people with intellectual disabilities?

    1. The bigotry of low expectations if the hallmark of the left. “It’s okay BOY, we know you don’t have the brains to do this stuff. We’ll take care of you though, long as you vote for us.”

      Patronizing scum institutionalizing the next generation of welfare dependents.

      1. It all starts in our colleges. And when Obama took FEDERAL control of all student loans … and the neediest students received the LARGEST $$$$ loans … the American colleges started accepting all-comers with a valid FAFSA application. Their scholarship? Their college-readiness? Meh. Nevermind, the colleges will teach them all the Marxism they need to know. Including the part wherein if they elect the “correct” politicians (Marxists) … then they’ll never have to pay back their massive $6-figure college loan debt.

        1. My son is glad as hell he gradded high school this year and didn’t have to put up with this garbage. Every kid in his school can claim friends with enhanced melanin, but of course, ignoring race is a form of racism now!

          The insanity, it burns.

  13. Let’s not forget that those racist Greeks and their racist theories about geometry also had racist theories about a heliocentric solar system and racist theories about the Earth being round, so it’s not like their racism was limited to just math.

  14. And this, from a “Conservative” government.

    You know, Rubber Douggie Ford – the Great Yellow Hope.

    1. Yup, and I’ve already put money down on some kind of critical race training at our place of work next spring during the annual health and safety meeting.
      Who here thought doing arithmetic had something to do with skin color ?
      Only children and their asleep parents can soak this sht in without questioning it.
      Progressives are unaccountable cowards, that cheat and are fine with it.

  15. John Chittick is right. In Avis Carlson’s book “Small World, Long Gone,” she talked about all the subjects being taught [ by quite young women, yet ] , in the old days when kids really learned a LOT in little old one-room school houses. Great book.

  16. So the new math course in diverse Ontario must integrate Indian culture and traditions. So one scalp plus one scalp equals four scalps? Or perhaps one liquor bottle plus one liquor bottle equals a liquor store?

    1. Ontario John. Loved your comment. Lost my lunch over it actually but thanks for the giggle.

  17. There is a design to this.
    Those that want to institute the nonmathematical nonsense are lookin out for their kids to go to special, private school to learn real stuff and those that go to the public schools will be their Eloi (quote J.Chittick) for ever.
    That’s the plan.
    Now it depends on the proletariat to stop it, if they submit you gotta wonder who is going to build anything.
    Eh, probably Asia will leap ahead using normal, ‘unbiased’ mathematics, engineering, that they have learned from the dying western civilization.

    What’s not to like about the socialist/fascist paradise?

  18. Mathematics can be subjective — sure tell that to the Africans who built the pyramids or the Hindu astronomers who developed the number system we currently use (called “Arabic” numerals because it came to the Europeans via the Arabs).
    The ultimate result of this nonsense will be an even wider gap between rich and poor with respect to the quality of education their children receive. The rich will either send their children to private schools, or if those fall down the rabbit hole, send their children to private schools abroad, or simply hire tutors. The poor . . .

    1. I think your theory falls down when applied to the current Turdeau government.

    2. and that notably racist caucasian named…Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī…who gave us algebra

  19. Will a discount be applied to the math grades of new Ontario high school graduate’s?

    Simply use .7 or .8 x whatever numeric grade was given, and this will give you the “outside of Ont. math grade equivalent”

    There’s a % key on all the calculators (phones?) these days, so not so difficult.

  20. Yeah, you know what’s subjective? Making race the most important thing in the world.
    There are far worse things than grumbling about immigrants, things like lying, stealing, cheating and being a dependent welfare slug. It’s pretty sad that the best these clowns can do to disparage white people is to condemn their virtues.

  21. I taught school for many years – in elementary, Jr High, and High School.
    The entire time, Administration was pushing for lower standards. Because the psychologists had told the world that “feelings” were more important than facts. Whether it was “Don’t worry if she can’t do the work; she has such a cheery attitude” (except when you ask her to do any work) or “You cannot give a zero if the work was not handed in. That is basing a mark on behaviour rather than knowedge of content” the direction was all the same. Downward.

    Now those same administrators have the Perfect Excuse!!!!
    Doing things well is Racist Oppression! Knowing things or demonstrating skills is so Colonialist!
    Any attempts at Excellence are to be shunned, mocked, and rooted out.
    Everybody will feel so good about themselves!
    Problem is, in order for students to TRULY feel good about themselves, it really helps if they actually know they have accomplished something. If they can do nothing, but are still looking for meaning in life, they are ripe for Antifa and other groups, who offer a Cause to those who don’t want to think through what that Cause actually is.
    Pity the country that downgrades excellence and achievement, while celebrating laziness and stupidity.
    What could possibly be the long term effects?
    BTW, laziness and stupidity are not racial traits. They are human ones, and these self-celebrating administrators are using Race as the tool to do what the psychologists have been saying for decades – coddle the feelings rather than deal with reality.
    Make the lazy and stupid feel good about themselves, and don’t forget to always have someone or something else to blame. In this case – white supremacy is at fault if you don’t bother to learn your math facts, or your teacher was too lazy (or cowed) to insist that you do.

  22. A lot could be solved by using percentiles instead of grades or in addition to grades. Then a retard could pass academic math but he would still be in the lowest 10th percentile. Nobody would confuse him with a scholar. If he gets 51%, people might think he knows something.

  23. If I was black with or without skool-aged kids I’d be furious at the presumption or should I write, prejudgment.
    But I’m not so I’ll shut up because I’m a racist.

  24. This is based on the belief that non-whites are rather unintelligent, too stupid to learn math.

    Talk about white supremacy!

  25. You can damn well bet they will want their reparations cheques calculated with utmost objectivity and accuracy, even if that means using the white man’s math.

  26. I don’t think I want an engineer or electrician who ‘succeeded’ with this approach to math..

    I enjoyed math in high school because it was the subject I didn’t have to hold a pointless debate with the teacher about the why behind my answer. The answer was either correct or not.

  27. Shut down the schools, but give all kids As for all subjects.

    Saves money, gets rid of teacher’s unions,

  28. The next time the federal government asks me to pay my income tax, i ll give them a subjective number.

    if they say I owe $2000 i ll say it is $20.

  29. Non-racist math for BIPOC.

    If a Democrat voter steaIs 6 pair of Nikes……
    And a “progressive teacher” faiIs 12 students who refuse to admit that Bruce Jenner once had testicIes…..
    And a IiberaI supporter cannot name at Ieast 5 times Justin Trudeau has worn bIack face, or broken the Iaw……

    CaIcuIate:

    “How many times wiII we have to hear about TurtIe IsIand before every sane person just starts home-schooIing their kids”

    (new math!! – there is no right or wrong answer…everyone gets an A!! – but not if you are paIe skinned)

  30. Payday for my BIPOC workers.
    40 hours at $10/hour, here’s your $300…………

  31. This is the language of cultural Marxists, adopted by a “Conservative” government in Ontario. Going forward, what the hell is the point in voting Tory?
