American Folk Afraid of Math<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

54 <\/i><\/b>Math Text books banned in Florida<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

for alleged critical race theory<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

and social-emotional learning<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

What\u2019s to fear?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s find out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will the hypotenuse be revealed<\/span><\/p>\n

as slanted toward diversity?<\/span><\/p>\n

Will the equilateral triangle<\/span><\/p>\n

promote justice<\/span><\/p>\n

and highlight inequity?<\/span><\/p>\n

One can only imagine<\/span><\/p>\n

the \u2018discomfort\u2019 students<\/span><\/p>\n

will feel about themselves<\/span><\/p>\n

in Geometry class\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

with these traitorous triangles\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

as they stir up guilt or shame\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

about white privilege.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps the white backgrounds<\/span><\/p>\n

on book pages feel threatened<\/span><\/p>\n

by the black print of text<\/span><\/p>\n

and equations. Surely<\/span><\/p>\n

they wouldn\u2019t want\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

to shift the paper\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

to shades of color!<\/span><\/p>\n

O, the turmoil within<\/span><\/p>\n

math lessons, fear\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

of \u2018social-emotional learning\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

that \u201csoftens children\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

to \u201cgender deconstruct,\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

vulnerable to acute angles<\/span><\/p>\n

grooming youngsters to change<\/span><\/p>\n

their orientation from \u2018he\u2019 or \u201cshe\u2018\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

to \u2018they\/, confused, open to seduction!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Will these demonic versions<\/span><\/p>\n

of geometry jump species<\/span><\/p>\n

into live creatures who attack<\/span><\/p>\n

children at recess. OMG!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Will <\/span>E=MC squared<\/span><\/i> become a pediphile\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

with the \u201cspeed of light\u201d to make\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

kindergarten children sexually promiscuous?<\/span><\/p>\n

Since energy and mass are interchangeable<\/span><\/p>\n

will Trigonometry become gay?<\/span><\/p>\n

Sleazy math fortells the END TIMES.<\/span><\/p>\n

Golly, are we in trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n
