Dori: Math racist in Seattle Schools according to ‘Math Ethnic Studies Framework’
Here are my favorite quotes from the Seattle Public School K-12 Math Ethnic Studies Framework:
- Where does Power and Oppression show up in our math experiences?
- Who holds power in a mathematical classroom?
- Is there a place for power and authority in the math classroom?
- Who gets to say if an answer is right?
- What is the process for verifying the truth?
- How is math manipulated to allow inequality and oppression to persist?
-
Who is doing the oppressing?
-
Who does the oppression protect?
-
Where is there an opportunity to examine systemic oppression?
-
Who does this oppression harm?
