(Libs of TikTok ) Teachers in Jefferson County Public Schools were given training on a “culturally responsive strategy,” which directed teachers on how to inject wokeness into the curriculum. Residents were made aware and submitted a FOIA request for the materials which revealed troubling information.
Part of the professional development training included a presentation on “anti-racist” math. “What on earth does math have to do with social justice?” you may be asking yourself. Well, we aren’t exactly sure, but we will attempt to figure it out.
The presentation was titled, “Coaching and teaching anti-racist math at the high school level.” In other words, woke math.
“Math lessons that focus on understanding social and racial injustice are an important piece of the broader struggle for justice,” the presentation read.
They also instructed teachers to game plan a response for parents who complain.
Teachers were presented with a chart (below) that shows which media sources are good and which are bad. Coincidentally, all mainstream conservative media was labeled hyper-partisan or “utter garbage.” Outlets such as NPR, AP, Reuters, USA Today, Washington Post, and NY Times—all blatantly partisan Left-wing media outlets—were labeled mainstream, factual, and trustworthy.
The final slide says that teachers and students can use these skills to “get started on a journey of advocacy.” This district apparently thinks parents are sending their kids to school to learn advocacy and not geometry in math class.
It’s worth noting that math proficiency in Jefferson County is below the national average. I wonder why!
