Laurie Rubel, a professor of math education at New York’s Brooklyn College, does not appear to be fond of the discipline she teaches. In fact, she apparently believes math is inherently racist. She recently tweeted, “the idea that math (or data) is culturally neutral or in any way objective is a MYTH.” In a separate tweet, she noted that math “reeks of white supremacist patriarchy” after stating, albeit incoherently, “along with the ‘of course math is neutral because 2 + 2 = 4 trope’ are the related (and creepy) ‘math is pure’ and ‘protect math.’” Appearing drunk on her own peerless wokeness,

I hope this moron will one day drive on a bridge designed by a "woke" engineer or an airplane designed by a "woke" aircraft company who abides by racial quotas and dispenses with "2+2=4 tropes" and goes with "if it looks good, go with it" design review criteria.

I want leftists to wear a full face mask, and keep a social distance of 6000 miles from my life.

Brooklyn College should fire the imbeciles that hired this imbecile. The imbeciles that hired the Brooklyn College imbeciles that hired this teacher imbecile should be fired. See how easy it is to triangulate?

Fire her #4. Not a chance. That is the only type of people that they will hire.

And this school was picked as the top public liberal arts college in the country! I hope none of her students want to be in the construction business.

What a wonderful "teaching moment." In a real union, such as a trade union, someone claiming 2+2 is not 4 would never work again. Carpenters don't have time for nonsense. If you can't do 2+2 you can't cut a piece of lumber.
You can, however, teach POC in a public school. When oh when is that bubble gonna burst?

2 + 2 = 4.
This is not MATH
This is ARITHMETIC.
Bean counters and book keepers like to describe this as math. Math starts with calculus, Fourier and laPlace transforms, and then the fun just starts. Launch a moon shot and get the math right or people die.

This woman is a prime example of why we need to bring back mental health institutions and involuntary commitment.

Her pretending to be a teacher or even to be human is a trope. I cannot even conceive there being someone or something like her....

I suggest an experiment:
The college should start making 'math mistakes' that 'short' her paycheck by random amounts, from, say, $50 to $500 in any given month.
I bet she'll change her tune pretty quick!
..... and if she doesn't, then increase the amount of the 'error' by another $500 or so per month, until finally she is being paid some random amount between $1 and $50 per month.
What do 'yall think?

Thank you, #10, exactly, all that and differential equations, partial diffy Qs, and trig, and analytical geometry and a lot more.
This schiffer brains black fool's closest approach to math is imaginary math....and I learned the REAL imaginary math, using i, rather than her imaginary math, which uses rascist BS and stupidity. She brings a whole new meaning to "irrational numbers ".
