That reminds me of an episode of Diff'rent Strokes from 30 to 35 years ago.

The one where Arnold and Mr. D were trying to figure out what was at the root of Arnold's difficulties with story problems in math class and his mounting frustrations for being "wrong". Because of course a bathtub doubles as a bed. Everybody knows that.

Now that I know a little more about it, she seems to have aimed at helping new teachers realize that mathematics has traditionally been taught towards whites (ie: word problems are written slanted towards our cultural norms). She seems to be suggesting that teachers should be politically aware in order to have their own thoughts about testing decisions made for children by politicians, and know what they can do about it to best help the kids. You can almost tell that by the quotes they took from the UI provost. Not so much from Gutierrez's quotes.

Some terms she uses give me pause, but I think I am in rough general agreement with her.

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.

Seems like you are going out of your way to deny how over the top and frankly destructive this is

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

Because they don't deserve it. It's an obsolete fallback for people who fail in their discipline
