Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 30 Jan 2025 - Antiracist Math Training

 

Antiracist Math Training

Workshops teaching teachers to "identify, disrupt, and replace practices that perpetuate White supremacy."  Math liberators will learn to confront "oppressive practices in math instruction with practices that center the wellness of students of color" and have hands-on opportunities to practice their craft.  Harmful ideas to eliminate include: math being purely objective, that there are always right and wrong answers, and the need to track proficiency.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 21 Mar 2024 - Tracking

 

Tracking

A modern form of segregation used by non-progressive educators to group students based on their learning level and testing proficiency.  The Ministry of Truth has determined that all examples of tracking should be eliminated, since it is a form of "spirit murder" that is inflicted upon children of color via unreasonable and inequitable proficiency expectations.
