Haven’t done one of these in a while but this one is just so precious. I am wondering, do liberals genuinely not want to see minorities in any STEM program? I mean, come on man! If you tell students that their ain’t no such thing as a “right” mathematical answer and that “showing your work” is a racist White Supremacist concept surely that is what they are hoping to achieve, ain’t it? I guess if they push to get the “A” for arts added to make it STEAM that could help with expanding minority participation, but then you might as well go ahead and include the “BW” basket weaving, and “ARS” AntiRacist studies majors as well.
Well, you can disbelieve me if you want but here is the full article. Go ahead and read it.
A sample of the stupidity, don’t let it burn ya!
Examples of “white supremacy culture” cited by the document include a focus on “getting the ‘right’ answer” and requiring students to show their work.
Glenn Ricketts, Public Affairs Director for the National Association of Scholars, told Campus Reform that the course illustrates that “no aspect of the educational process at any level is off limits for the social justice indoctrination.”
“Mathematics was once considered immune: after all, doesn’t 2 + 2 = 4?” Ricketts said. “But as I have read recently, the problem that math and arithmetic insist on correct answers is actually a hidden form of ‘white supremacy,’ as everything else is as well.”
I’ll wait for you to stop all of your sobbing, just keep it to under a few hours, I have to get to the golf course.
Yet another reason homeschool kids get a better education.
Isn’t “picking the right club” a vestige of “white privilege”, in more ways than one?
Subtle — I like it.
Ricketts said. “But as I have read recently, the problem that math and arithmetic insist on correct answers is actually a hidden form of ‘white supremacy,’ as everything else is as well.”
Short-change his paycheck or mortgage payment, and send a reporter to interview him.
Prop solved.
“The Stupid, it burns!”
This one really, really burned.
STEAM
Perhaps a typo. I am going to use it in the future.
STEAM (Science, Technology, Except Affirmative Minority) programs: Disciplines that without the usual rigorous discipline will scald (often fatally) those who try to subsume fundamental laws to affirmative action.
(“That bridge was designed and built by STEAM graduates. Find another way.” … And, now, United Airlines pilots must be 50% minorities or women … )
Sadly, STEAM is a real thing.
“Art”?
Designing a bridge?
Not one of those persons involved in that bridge collapse has lost their job.
Not one.
People died, by the way.
Not one.
But the bridge looked fabulous.
While it stayed up.
Hooray for diversity!
