Do you think this is appropriate for high school math books?

[FAUlty Gator]

It’s an obvious attempt by some progressive at the math book creator to slip in some ideological garble about how conservatives are more racist than liberals. I don’t think that can be denied.

The question is, is it OK to allow this graph in math books at high schools.

Also, if this graph was “homicides by race” instead and showed that blacks were committing a large portion of murders, would that be OK to use this graph in a math book?

Here's a link from CNN with the OP graphic. The publishers are not identified. They did provide a little context for the OP chart.

Florida releases 4 examples from math textbooks it rejected for public schools | CNN

Florida education officials have released four images from some of the math textbooks the state rejected this month, citing what they said were references to critical race theory or other "prohibited" topics.

if this was in an actual middle school math book, i would say it would be inappropriate. The math lesson could probably be taught using different verbage.

Can you answer if there is an actual source that shows that the graphs in the OP were actually from a middle school math book?

 

[Hawk and Awe]

Implicit bias is an important concept. I would argue middle school is an appropriate level to be discussing it. We absolutely must help our youth understand these things and critically think to come to an independent opinion.

And yet… Putting it in a math book is a super weird look and inappropriate. I dont understand wtf people are thinking sometimes.

Systemic overload is an integral component of propaganda and brainwashing techniques. Don't give the subject time to think over a subject just inundate them until their behavior adjusts itself accordingly.

No, neither one is appropriate because they both introduce sensitive and highly contentious information without context. Math is not social science and there are plenty of neutral topics that could be employed to convey the same mathematical principles.

What a dumbass response, grey. 😆

If someone is too lazy to cite their sources, that is not on the person who has called them out for being intellectually lazy. And just because intellectual sloth is something you excel at, doesn’t mean it’s meritorious.

"Math is not a social science" Lol. Math isn't a science, it's a concept or methodology used in sciences, including lots of social sciences. Economics, anyone?

They were...according to Mauer’s Show last night. This exact text book example was used.
It is important to remember that of all the books scrutized by Florida cons, THIS is the most egregious example they could come up with...their were 3 other examples shown but this is the worst.
Plus...it was never discussed how many school’s in Florida use this particular school book in their curriculum. How big of a problem is this in Florida? Is it a problem, or is it someone looking for a problem?

 

[steelrain]

The text book maker could use ANY other information to illustrate a graph, they choose racial murder.....WTF!?

I can see why it was banned. Information like that is important but not in that context or setting.

Who is Mauer?
did Mauer put this exact picture up or did he provide anything other than a picture that OP posted showing that it came from a specific textbook that was actually used in a middle school classroom?

Not necessarily. That’s why the poll offers your answer as a choice. Are you good with the “most murders” graph as well?

 

[SL Hawk Fan]

Saw this on Bill Maher’s show, last night. Bill claimed to have reviewed all the examples (not sure how if only 4 were released) and said there only 4 that seemed problematic in any way. He showed the above chart as the ONLY one that he really had a problem with.

I would agree that this subject matter is not necessary for teaching middle school math concepts. However, I would have no problem at all if any of the charts above were used in a middle-school social sciences class.

I suspect that the poster above, mentioning the connection to Youngkin’s private equity group, is the one on the right track regarding what’s really going on here.

Great. The math books were denied weren’t they? Are you saying they didn’t look through the book and see those in there before canceling them? Those were the four examples they chose that were provided to them by the public.

Paradise Valley Unified School District is currently reviewing math curriculum material for high school students. However, an algebra textbook that the school district is reportedly considering states that algebra can teach us about “racial bias,” “ethnic diversity in the United States,” and...
