數學是種族主義?!Mathematics is Racism?!

 //Part of the toolkit includes a list of ways "white supremacy culture" allegedly "infiltrates math classrooms." Those include "the focus is on getting the 'right' answer," students being "required to 'show their work,'" and other alleged manifestations.

"The concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false, and teaching it is even much less so," the document for the "Equitable Math" toolkit reads. "Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuate objectivity as well as fear of open conflict."//

翻譯︰如果你相信數學上有絕對答案,如「2+2=4」,那麼,你就是種族主義者,因為不相信「2+2=4」的人會恐懼,怕會陷入「公開衝突」。

換言之,以後數學考試,你不能問「1+1=?」,你只可以問「1+1,你覺得會是多少?」然後,非白人學生答曰「3」,你不能說他錯,充其量只能說「a very unique, very original, very revolutionary and very critical answer」。

George Orwell的極權主義寓言《1984》中,就已展示出極權主義的最終權力,在於訓練公民絕對相信「2 +2=5」。即使人民知道「2+2=4」,也要對「2+2=5」堅信不移。人們的思想被意識形態扭曲得面目全非,主角Winston Smith的思想最終也徹底投降,被迫同意「2+2=5」。
