San Francisco's decision to delay Algebra for all students until the 9th grade in the name of "equity," is a really bad one. Black parents didn't ask for this, and this strategy won't achieve the equity that they're looking for.
Hard to accept: A lot of "anti-woke" people believe that being woke is all just a lot of bad decisions like this. This belief is due to framing by the far-right: any bad policy is "woke." I help them understand that Black families don't want this and didn't ask for it.
@mekkaokereke So much of this is coming out of Stanford and their math education people, which the Stanford math people hate. Palo Alto school district has been rejecting it for years.
Yup...
Who is more "woke?" The Black man CS/EE professor, who has experience being in, and working with, the community that needs the help? Or the woman who called the cops on him?

I point this out to people that think that they are "anti-woke." I'm like "No one likes this nonsense. Don't put this mess on us!" You'd be surprised how many bridges to understanding that this opens!
For Jo Boaler, Professor of Mathematics Education at the Stanford Graduate School of Education, criticism can be a touchy subject. In 2006, she actually left her post for multiple years after a mathematician, James Milgram, exposed the shoddy methodologies she used in her work. She returned to Stanford in 2010,
