Math used to be immune to this silliness, maybe the 'rona vaccinations weakened us:
An education professor delivered a lecture in early January at a major mathematician meeting that described college math as “white” and “cisheteropatriarchal.”
“Undergraduate Mathematics Education as a White, Cisheteropatriarchal Space and Opportunities for Structural Disruption to Advance Queer of Color Justice” was the full title of the lecture given by Luis Leyva, associate professor of mathematics education at the Peabody College of Education and Human Development at Vanderbilt University.
Leyva delivered the lecture Jan. 4 in Boston at the Joint Mathematics Meetings 2023. The summit is the “largest mathematics gathering in the world,” according to its website.
Blah. Maybe the Queers of Color (their term, not mine) just need to study harder.
Why, Darren, they are just so, so busy collecting victim points that they can't do anything else.
ReplyDeleteThe doofus involved is an associate professor of mathematics education.
ReplyDeleteSo in other words, he's a product of the CRT infested cesspools known as Education schools, rather than an actual math guy.
And besides, why should anybody of color study when they all know that studying is just performing whiteness?
