Is social justice math creeping into your child's math curriculum?

Glenn Beck - 8/28/2014
If you think back to your elementary school years, your math
equations probably centered around going to the store and making a
purchase or having to make change in some way. Not anymore. Now, progressives are pushing to have themes like climate change and casualties of war worked into these problems.
“A typical math problem would be you have 13 cents and a green pencil
is 3 cents – you know, that sort of problem. They want to get rid of
those sorts of problems,” Olson said. “Instead, they want to calculate
war deaths, or they want to calculate the number of liquor stores within
a particular radius of the school, or problems related to global
warming – those sorts of things.”
Ultimately, there is a push to insert a political and ideological
bias into areas of the curriculum that should be straightforward and
fact-based.
