View original postNot sure if this one of those you already read, but anyway, it sets out her views quite well and explains several of the quotes in the article, as well as the 'conocimiento' thing.
View original postThere's a few parts that I'm sceptical about. Saying mathematics has 'unearned privilege' because mathematical aptitude or insight is taken as a proxy of intelligence more than aptitude in other subjects, is reasonable enough - but she seems to be cutting a lot of corners in the casual dismissal of mathematics' claim to deal with objective truth.
View original postBut the most important thing that I'm taking away from the article is that in the end her goal is the same as that of the people criticizing her in this thread - helping students to fulfill their potential in terms of learning mathematics as well as possible. The interpretations of her quotes as if she's aiming to reduce or weaken mathematical teaching are very wrong.
But, yes, your comments above sound like we've mostly seen the same things at this point. I do have some hesitations, but I'm mathematically challenged. I'm willing to admit ignorance and give her the benefit of the doubt on some of it, based on what I believe to be her overall point.
Why is there less and less regard for our institutes of higher learning?

I loved Milo's response: "If math is based on white privilege, why are Asians so much better at it?" *NM*

Seems all the articles about this just parrot the same handful of quotes.

There's a lot of bullshit in academia, but there are also a lot of technical terms.

Maybe because there is so little regard for elementary, middle school and high school teachers?
