    Is there no end to this stuff? "Teaching math preserves white privilege"

    I'm glad that I'll probably be dead when: 2 Mexican drug mules + 2 Islamic terrorists = 5 undocumented immigrants.

    Well, Yitang Zhang very recently proved the twin primes conjecture which was a problem that basically every number theorist has looked at for hundreds of years, and Terence Tao has done work that most white mathematicians (or most mathematicians for that matter) can't even imagine of attempting, so I view math as more of the Asian male opportunity as opposed to white privilege. Take a look at the demographics of faculty/grad students in most institutions of higher learning today, the Statistics departments I've visited were all like half Asian and a lot of the white people were Russian.

      ShawnFanningsLimpDick: He didn't prove the twin primes conjecture but did prove that there are infinite primes within 70 million or so. Establishing any finite bound was a huge step forward but now they have to get it down from 70 million to 2.

    You're all attacking the website but not refuting anything they reported. Just follow the links they give.

    https://education.illinois.edu/faculty/rg1

    There's her profile right on the university website.

    Here is her twitter profile. Lots of good stuff there too

    There is a concerted and growing effort in academia to politicize math. Math is racist now. What a world.

    Unfortunately, truth is independent of its source. Either these things were said or they weren't. I can find no evidence that they weren't said. I'm always open to reevaluation should new contradictory evidence appear. I'm not constantly angry, just constantly disappointed in the quality of American college faculty and the current reign of terror of campus political correctness.

    I am in no way saying some wackjob public school teacher didn't say it.

    I am saying that the story was written to inflame and divide and that you still have the hook in your mouth.

    Jews are centipedes from space.

    I literally just said that on the internet.


    Are you going to start a thread about it now, or wait until a right wing rage-blog picks it up and rebrands it as a threat to Israel's existence?

    I'm not understanding the objection to this article.

    Is it on a right-wing website of questionable reliability?

    Yes.

    But it seems to be fairly well sourced, and the article itself does not seem sensational or difficult to believe.

    It seems likely to me that the facts reported in the article about this whack-job professor are indeed facts.

    So what's the problem?

    Keep in mind that I despite clickbait right-wing sites which prey upon the highly divided political climate, as they often disseminate false or misleading articles which fit their narrative and get clicks. (This is prevalent on the left, as well.) However, this article does not seem to be fake news.

    Do we now need to dismiss any news as worthless, which isn't reported from a position of complete neutrality?

    If so, then we need to dismiss nearly everything political ever written on this forum.

    Who cares why it was written?

    If it's the truth, then there should be no problem putting the information out there.

    You can keep saying the same thing over and over, but it is incredibly foolish to complain about truthful news stories because you don't like the motivation behind the writer.

    This is exactly why many deride Trump for his "fake news" claims, whenever there's something bad reported about him.

    While you need to approach a biased source with caution, you can't entirely dismiss it, as the biased source is also more likely to dig for actual dirt.

    With all due respect, this is not the greatest analogy. What might be more analogous is the endless hammering of Israel, the only real democracy in that part of the world, on college campuses by both students and teachers. There is virtually nothing that can't be said to vilify Israel. This is typical of the radical left's control of the college campus dialogue.

    So you think that the story was to inform people?
