bigdealHere's a hint...Anything a black kid is functionally illiterate at (and that's a very long and growing list) is racist.

II + V + V = XII Romans
2 + 5 + 5 = 12 Chinese
2 + 10 + 0 = 12 Arabs
12 + 0 = 12 Klan?

PDI read it. This has to be satire.

az4783054It might be. OANN/Tipping Point had a piece on it last night. If you google 'seattle schools racist math', there's a lot of other references to it.
After all, it is Seattle. CA just hasn't caught on to it yet.

Oat_Action_ManJust think if all our racist ancestors had just accepted the glory of the Mayan base-20 system!
If they weren't so racist, they'd have given up the mathematical system that their own culture had developed over the intervening thousand years as soon as they first encountered the Mayans!
All hail base-20 math! For progress!

MrToadIf it's satire, it's on their official site from the
Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction .
If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made. October 05, 2019, 06:17 PM

Calling it welfare is racist though.

MaestroThis makes me even more ashamed of my profession in education. I think what saddens me the most is that when I read the article, I knew it was legit and not satire.

EdmondBlack girl actually said black people can’t be racist. I can think of few times I laughed so hard in my life.
My personal experience is the most racism I have received has come from blacks.

One night I was watching a discussion between two African Howard University members. A student and a professor. The student made that same claim and the professor started laughing.
It brought to mind the many police cam videos released in response to claims of racistim.

It really is getting hard to distinguish between satire and real news.

Yeah, they ignore the basics these days.
It was sad, I told the old joke, hey a Roman goes into a bar, holds up two fingers. Bartender gives him five beers..... and then I had to explain it.
I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm.
