I'm sure Russians and Chinese would be pretty happy if you guys started to program your ICBMs with non-objective math equations.

It would surprise me if we hired math drop-outs to program those missiles.
Well, if they want to lower the bar on math, they just may as well stop teaching it and let all the technology the US has been in the fore front on come from other countries.
It started years ago. Work places needed to fill quotas. If you didn't have enough blacks, you got in trouble. So a company would have to hire less qualified blacks, over more qualified races.
Then it was college placement exams. Asians get deducted points for being too smart.
Now this is another approach. Just give everyone an A in math. You no longer have to understand math to get an A+.
The last 6 months has made me dislike Bill Gates so much. The crap this guy comes up with is astonishing. I knew windows Vista was a sign of his brilliance going down hill.

They don't want to cancel it, they just want to dumb it down so a high school student is doing 7th grade math. That will make it more fair and less racist for the special students.
Unimportant news story, people in academics are always sitting around writing documents, I don't see why I care about some idea that isn't even taught in an actual school.

It's best to not care or have an opinion until it's too late. So do you think math is racist, or is it too soon to tell?
There have been pushes to get it taught in schools, if not actually having made it happen already. It’s all “nothing to worry about” until it’s too late and already snuck up on you. If you think it shouldn’t be taught in school then stop it before it gets there, not after.

I guarantee you China is not doing this shit.
@BrosephBrostar
Of course not. This stupid shit is more of an American/UK type of thing.
It is more racist to imply non-white people can't be expected to do well in math
It is, it's a real slap in their faces.
Oh yeah lol. I didn't even see that. True true true
Answering math correctly shows intelligence. Open to any ethnicity.
Not if you're trying to lower the bar on math testing.
Well, if they want to lower the bar on math, they just may as well stop teaching it and let all the technology the US has been in the fore front on come from other countries.
It would seem like that's already happening. Asia and India are kicking our butts.
Yup. Bring back higher standards to learn to.

They should make a movie: "Revenge of the Snow Flakes" LOL
Don't give them any ideas.

I dont know if the Gates even know that they are funding this kind of nonsense, but it is their money and they should know
If they didn't know then, they sure as fuck know now. So let's see what they do about it.
I’m no mathematician so I am at the mercy of whatever they say lol
No, it isn't "racist". Mathematics isn't a suggestive concept, nor is it "white privilege" to find the right answer to a problem.
I- I have no words. How could someone be stupid enough to actually believe this?
I guess the founder of Microsoft does.
I'd like more context. This whole thing is confusing.
Either read through the posts or break down and Google it.

Okay?
You didn't give any information on it. You just said math is racist without explaining what the author meant by that.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! When did I say math was racist?
What the fuck is wrong with you people? LMAO
No, math isn't and cannot be racist. History, maybe.
Wtffffff?
What do u want now? Cancel math?
Pls do 🙏

I don't know about racist but maths is ptsd for sure
that has to be the dumbest fucking thing I have ever heard
Bill owned a software house. Perhaps he's now senile.
I don't think he's dealing with a full deck.

Yeah, and I remember people brushing off all of this nonsense because it "was just on college campuses".
It's not just on college campuses anymore.

Why is it always white people who come up with this BS?
I would guess that BLM is 90% white. I guess they are just bored.
True true
Oh, for fuck's sake!! Someone's gotta be taking the piss!
Simples...
The heck is this? Only insecure people sees this. by the way, it's only in English.
Welcome to Clown World. Enjoy your stay !
Yes, I know. It's libtard clown world.
No, math isn't racist.
Grammar is also racist. Possibly home economics.
