Maybe in America this Walz is considered likeable but I was put off immediately.

Is math “White” and therefore “Racist!”? A superb article on Real Clear Politics a few years ago by a Princeton Professor of Mathematics with an excellent introduction by Bari Weiss. And Kamala “Equal Outcomes” Harris is totally committed to “Equity” aka “Equal Outcomes.” Some excerpts below:

“When it comes to education, I believe the woke ideology is even more harmful than old-fashioned communism.”

“Communism had a strong sense of objective reality anchored in the belief that humans are capable of discovering universal truths. It forcefully asserted, in fact, the absolute truth of dialectic materialism, as revealed by its founders Marx, Engels and Lenin. Communist ideology held science and mathematics in the highest regard, even though it often distorted the former for doctrinal reasons.”

“Mathematics was largely immune to ideological pressure, and thus thrived in most communist countries. Being skilled in math was a source of great societal prestige for school children. And it was a great equalizer: those from socioeconomically disadvantaged families had a chance to compete on equal footing with those from privileged ones.”

“There Is No Such Thing as ‘White’ Math.”

I naively believed that STEM would be spared from the ideological takeover. I was wrong, says Princeton professor Sergiu Klainerman.
