uuhm...what...?
Got keep them safe from Big Pythagoras
"No more fraction for you, young man, you are rounded"
Triangles are scary
Well it is a gateway to calculus, soon you'll be able to be closer to understanding problems that include changing values like acceleration. Okay I may be misremembering calculus but there was way more Pythagoras theorum involved than you'd guess at first look.
And "changing values" is progressive brainwashing. The Truth isn't variable; it's constant: 3 = 1. Epsilon-Delta = Epstein-Data! Trigonometry is all about the SIN OF XY — that's gay pornography and Greek pederasty being taught to your children as "math". SIN WAVES are Liberal Lewdness in Our Schools! Don't let your children be tangent to these dangerous curves!
Big Dick Pythagoras is what they used to call him actually. That hypotenuse shit just really isn't safe for the children.
He learned they were teaching Arabic numerals and now he's afraid of al gebra.
haha, wasn't there a video where they asked people about teaching arabic numbers in school and they got really mad. what a great way to reveal your ignorance and xenophobia in one reaction.
It’s about time someone stood up to math.
If god wanted us to count past ten we’d have more fingers.
They're called toes. If God didn't want us to use them we would have been born with shoes!
Thou shall use a base20 numerical system
Those piggies are gods shame, we must cover our feet so god cannot see our toes.
That’s why god gave us the Finger Lakes
maybe they meant meth? or they've got a deep-seated fear of trigonometry?
I don't think these people are fearing meth.
Yeah the are probably on it.
Nah, they're fine with meth. Math scares them because they can't twist it to fit their bigoted beliefs, they've tried their little hearts out tho.
They should go hand in hand honestly. How do you figure out if you got shorted on your ice if you can't to math?
Yeah kids, stay in school so you know when your drug dealer is ripping you off.
Later in the story they talk about the supposed MAP (or "minor-attracted persons") agenda -- maybe "the Math Agenda" was a misspeak referring to that?
But on the other hand, these people are also lunatics so 🤷
You are looking for mathematical logic where there isn't one.
Save the children from meth! Save it all for the kill-billies who organized this protest!
It is of acute importance to stay vigilant of mathematicians; we cannot go on tangents and let their plots divide us. I'm sure they're integrating themselves into positions of power, and knowing even a fraction of their schemes could be of prime significance to factoring out their plans to subtract our freedoms.
PI IS EQUAL TO THREE!
I've got a math degree, can definitely say I felt like a victim at times
QED.
Could be this? https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/17/us/florida-math-textbooks-critical-race-theory
“ DeSantis said state officials “got rid” of Common Core, a standardized teaching method rolled out in 2010. The method requires children to group numbers to solve arithmetic problems, rather than the vertical “carry the one” method familiar to most adults. The approach goes beyond simple computation to emphasize deeper mathematical concepts. The department said some of the rejected textbooks incorporated Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and references to critical race theory – two frameworks or philosophies that some conservative groups claim are being used to indoctrinate students. Some schools around the country have recently used SEL strategies to help students cope with stress and the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning defines SEL as a teaching framework aimed at helping “young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.” More than a dozen states have set standards for teaching SEL in grade schools, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. But as more states consider SEL strategies, conservative groups have claimed critical race theory is embedded into the framework.”
