2 2 = 5: Now math slammed as 'racist,' 'western' - WND:
The proposal laments that "western" math has been viewed as the only "legitimate expression" of math identity. It's been used to "disenfranchise people and communities of color" and, consequently, it "erases the historical contributions of people and communities of color."
It wonders, "Who gets to say if an answer is right?"
The premise is that math has been manipulated to allow inequality and oppression to persist.
