How can social justice help us teach math better?

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/447714/social-justice-math-dehumanizing-tool

"Mathematical ethics recognizes that, for centuries, mathematics has been used as a dehumanizing tool. Does one’s IQ fall on the lower half of the bell curve? Mathematics tells us that individual is intellectually lacking. Mathematics formulae also differentiate between the classifications of a war or a genocide and have even been used to trick indigenous people out of land and property."

They do have the very occasional readable article but it's usually just a series of kikes and catholics attempting humor for a hollowed-out demo.

I am very, very happy and deeply, personally gratified that they, above all others, are the go-to cuckservative whipping-boy which has been reduced into total cultural irrelevance post-Trump. You lost faggots, stop talking and fold your rag.

Replace every instance of the word "mathematics" with the word "language".

umm.

From my personal experience, I learnt math faster when it was applied to something pragmatic.

I use shapes, colours, and diagrams to learn maths... and now I'm a numerical modeler. Who failed maths in high school... in fact I was held back a year :0

But that aside, high school has shit teachers. Mine use to turn up to class and just place some stuff on the board, then spend the rest of class with their feet up sleeping. if they even bothered showing up. Yay for public education!

>intersectional single variable
That is an oxymoron.

In single variable calculus then your privilege [math] p [/math] is a function of just one variable: that could be your race, gender or sexuality. But just one at a time, to keep things simple.

In Intersectional calculus, you learn that the best way to model privilege is as a function [math] p(r,g,s) [/math]. A function of race, gender, and sexuality all at the same time.
