Quote of the year (so far)

 

"Woke"-ness, political correctness, sexism and sheer plain daftness are all evident in this one-liner:


“When Black female students are repeatedly disciplined for being social, loud, or goofy in the mathematics classroom, they experience mathematical violence.”


"Mathematical violence"???  What on earth is that?  Perhaps it's a variation on the ancient Roman custom of decimation, where one legionary out of every ten was put to death to punish severe misconduct?  There's certainly mathematics involved in that, and violence too (very much so) . . . but I haven't yet come across any school, college or university advocating the execution of one in ten students for "being social, loud or goofy".  Perhaps someone should try that, on the grounds of being mathematically - albeit not politically - correct?

The toenail-curling stupidity and mindless blathering of the "woke" are still with us, it seems . . .

Those students experience mathematical violence when they take their shoes off, and still cannot do the math.

In fact, it's mathematical corporal punishment, because "Da mafz be kickin' yo azz!"

Soooo, chimping out is socially, politically correct? Checking, because this will count towards my mandated Continuing Education in Female Ethnic Studies. Thank you for your time and attention in this Sensitive Matter.
Yours Truly, Toxic White Tree Mike...also, will this enhance my Lists status?

Do I take it that what they mean by 'social, loud, or goofy' is being disruptive?

Of course they are because of slavery and all that shitz.

The mathematical violence they suffer from includes problems that multiply, and that their self control is but a fraction of what it should be.
