Alternative Maths in a Woke World or Sick Alt Right Video About Maths?

[Denim]

Funny but topical :

 

 

 

[Jingthing]

Alternative facts are an ALT RIGHT thing! Nothing to do with woke. Look what's happening in Florida. Teachers are being shut down from teaching basic facts and information about LGBT people and black history to ALL GRADES which is a neo-fascist movement led by alt right wing demagogues.

Your headline indicates you think this film is to expose so called woke (which isn't a real thing, it's just an attack word from the right wing). It's the opposite.

It's just a label, it doesn't mean it's not real.  Same with anything in the world, you may not agree with it or like it, but that's not a pre-requisite.

It has been officially hijacked by the right wing. Particularly to viciously demonize transgender people. I think that is evil. Imagine being a transgender person in the world now having to deal with all this insane irrational ignorance and bigotry.

Should LGBT be a subject in schools at all?

As part of various subjects of course. In history, in social studies, and sex ed classes, etc.

What a bizarre question really. Should they be made invisible?!?

Would you ask that question about blacks or Jews?

I never implied it was anything of the kind! 

The math teacher represents rationality.

You know, like the people that know Donald Trump lost, as opposed to the alt right alternate facts wack jobs that still insist it was stolen.

Alt right is fake term

Means nothing

 

 

[Sparktrader]

20 years ago these terms didnt exist. People making up weird terms to try and group some 0.1% of people into a mob. Its a nonsense.

Just some new trendy term. Means nothing. They used to be called hicks or hillbillies.

Right wing means freedom and capitalism. Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

 

Sadly modern day people have invented weird terms to describe nutters and totally forgot what capitalism is.

That's what the right wing demagogues are saying and worse. It's bull.

And you worked yourself up into a lather all for nothing.

 

I am generally left-leaning but my peeve with the woke is that if they don't get their way they start throwing their toys.

err... there's plenty of misinformation on the left side too.

 

but the video doesn't really take a side.

it is showing the dangers of giving opinions any weight at all against facts and how opinions and votes (of whatever side !) should never influence facts.
