Promoting Equality, California Proposes No Advanced Math Classes
Image: ClipArtKey
In the name of equality, the California Department of Education seeks to dumb down the brightest kids.
A friend of mine emailed an article the likes of which always prompts me to say “really?”
Please consider the Reason article In the Name of Equity, California Will Discourage Students Who Are Gifted at Math.
Culturally Responsive Framework
I like to verify things myself and you can do so as well by reading the California Department of Education Mathematics Framework.
In its framework, the Department of Education seeks “Culturally responsive mathematics education.”
Introduction Highlights
- Active efforts in mathematics teaching are required in order to counter the cultural forces that have led to and continue to perpetuate current inequities. Mathematics pathways must open mathematics to all students, eliminating option-limiting tracking. [i.e. no advance classes].
- implementation of this framework and the standards, teachers must be mindful of other considerations that are a high priority for California’s education system including the Environmental Principles and Concepts (EP&Cs) which allow students to examine issues of environmental and social justice.
Teaching for Equity Highlights
- The evolution of mathematics in educational settings has resulted in dramatic inequities for students of color, girls, and students from low income homes.
- Teachers are encouraged to align instruction with the outcomes of the California ELD Standards, which state that linguistically and culturally diverse English learners receive instruction that values their home cultures.
Need to Broaden Perceptions of Mathematics
I did not go through all the chapters. Reason uncovered these gems.
- The inequity of mathematics tracking in California can be undone through a coordinated approach in grades 6–12.
- Middle-school students are best served in heterogeneous classes.
- The push to calculus in grade twelve is itself misguided.
- To encourage truly equitable and engaging mathematics classrooms we need to broaden perceptions of mathematics beyond methods and answers so that students come to view mathematics as a connected, multi-dimensional subject that is about sense making and reasoning, to which they can contribute and belong.
Sabotage the Best
Reason concludes, and I agree “If California adopts this framework, which is currently under public review, the state will end up sabotaging its brightest students. The government should let kids opt out of math if it’s not for them. Don’t let the false idea that there’s no such thing as a gifted student herald the end of advanced math entirely.”
Instead, and in the name of “equity”, the proposed framework aims to keep everyone learning at the same dumbed down level for as long as possible.
The intention is clear. The California Board of Education intends to sabotage the best and brightest, hoping to make everyone equal.
The public does not support these polices. Indeed, it is precisely this kind of talk that nearly got Trump reelected.
Biden should speak out against such nonsense, but he won’t. He is beholden to Teachers’ Unions and Boards of Education.
Care to complain? If so the California Department of Education posted these ways.

Social and Mathematical Justice Q&A
Q: Who is the arbiter of environmental, mathematic, and social justice?
A: The California board of Education. They intend to cram it down your child’s throat and dumb down gifted kids no matter what their parents believe or how vigorous the objections.
If you wish to protest these absurd policies, phone or write the board of education as posted above.
Better yet, get the hell out of California.

Elite control of education (indoctrination) just like control of the media is critically important in moving the herd down the right path. It is much easier to change society by changing the people, and the best way to do that is by placing them in government indoctrination centers as early as possible.
Academic elite and founding member of the Fabian Socialist Society Bertrand Russel ran experimental school systems for the Royals and claimed that if they could get the kids away from the parents for eight hours per day they could thoroughly indoctrinate them no matter what the parents taught them at home. Lenin said it only required four hours.
From the colonial days in the U,S. by using locally controlled schools at low cost the population became the most literate in the world. This does not do anything for the elite who desire every material advantage for their own progeny over everyone else. The movement to rote learning and planned failures such as “look see” reading (instead of phonetics) and the “new math” to today’s “multiculturalism” and sex perversion education began way back with the socialists of the 1800’s but became the “education” model in this country with Rockefeller funding and their shill the “Father of Amer. Ed” communist John Dewey who said that the goal of education was to “mold the students so they became cogs in the socialist system.”
Everything the Zionist elite do is a lie and a fraud. From the contrived wars, the vaccination scam, global warming, green energy, moon landings, atomic weaponry to the fake virus, fake test and fake numbers. As Thomas Jefferson stated, “only a moral and enlightened people can rule themselves.” As a side note, some times the elite fall victim to their own scams. John D. Rockefeller Jr’s sons were illiterate. Nelson although governor of N,Y. could not read because he had been put in a “free thinking” school. Read John Taylor Gatto’s “The Underground History of American Education.”

Hey Mark,
Remember the other day when we discussed the ISS videos?
I was watching another one of the videos in the series, and I noticed it again. I enjoy this guy’s videos, but he wasn’t pointing it out in this one. Look above the astronauts starting around the 11:27 mark.

Around 11:48 you see a pronounced drop, and it looks odd in a weightless environment.

Hello Wisenox:
You can tell the ass tronauts are suspended in a harness. If they were in a no gravity environment they of course would be floating around. Even if secured with a lanyard it would not be rigid as it appears, if there were no gravity. I figure the jerking motion was from part of the cable assembly. When he started up about the dome over the earth I figured that was enough. Here’s a short clip on “seeing the stars.”

The narrator goes on to then to nuclear bombs that are fake also. That is why atomic bombs, like the fake moon landing have not been used since Hiroshima Nagasaki except for the fake tests. Read “Death Object The nuclear Weapons Hoax” by Akio Nakatoni.

Greetings Wisenox:
The ass tronauts are suspended in a harness limiting mobility. Of course if they were really In a no gravity situation they would be floating around. Even if secured by a lanyard it would not be rigid as it is with gravity and the harness. Here’s a short clip on “seeing stars or not.”

The narrator goes on to nuclear bombs which are also fake. That is why, just as with the fake moon landings, they have not been used since Hiroshima – Nagasaki. Read Akio Nakatoni’s Death Object Exploding The Nuclear Hoax.

I fully agree with the absurdity of the move, but at least you could have shown a derivative or integration (i.e. Calculus) rather than the quadratic equation.. The quadratic equation is elementary algebra which will continue to be taught.

In the 1930s. a leading University in Germany had the best math department….after a purge of Jewish professors, a nazi official called the head of the math department and asked how he now liked his department minus the Jews? He replied that he no longer had a math department.

Hello Clark:
Head rocket scientist for the V2 rocket program in Germany and precursor to the U.S. space program Warner von Braun was not a Jew nor I believe very many (if any) of the 500 team members he brought to the U.S. after the Zionist contrived war.
The most noted Jew “scientist” of course was the fraudulent plegurist and rabid Zionist Einstein. Knowing the Jew MSM would hype him to the moon he copied copiously from real scientists as well as relying on his first wife whom really did have the necessary education he certainly did not.. Maybe thats why when the Jews awarded the Nobel Prize to him, he gave the money to her.
The Jews were however predominant in one area, that being subversion just as they are today from the All Jew Frankfurt School, the massive invasion of Europe with their Kelergi Plan and Soros BLM to all our wars including the current “War on Terror” for the Yinnon Plan and Greater Israel.
