The only thing Orwell apparently got wrong was the year

He actually didn't predict soon enough. This crap started in the early 70's.

1984, published in 1948. 19 48>84. If it came out in 1949, it would have been titled "1994."
It was about the present then, worldwide, goverments, politics, propaganda

It's about how all goverments work, as the world was described as split into three superpowers playing the same game. In the end of the day, they all eat at the same table.

The point about 1984 is that is was a commentary about 1948. He didn't choose the date as a prediction, is was to juxtapose it with his present year.

The only thing the op got wrong was his opinion.

Seriously, have either of you actually read it?

Hahaha!

I'm always surprised by how many kids use this site.

Don't you have homework to do or something? If not, maybe use the time to work on your comebacks?

the irony is that i never go after individual jews. just the israeli government, institution, and military, along with those that support it. the sad part is that the people who support israel don't really care about jewish people that much. if they did, they'd pay attention to the large amount of hate crimes going towards jewish children in their country.

eyyy the other fun part is that israel didn't even exist as a country before hitler died

people who find comparisons to hitler shouldn't have a voice in politics, honestly

Well, now we at least have something to talk about

However, you ought to have cited the primary source that the (rather loaded and biased) opinion article itself cites:

https://www.k12.wa.us/sites/default/files/public/socialstudies/pubdocs/Math%20SDS%20ES%20Framework.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3z228kLBOJgz2NaBN3l5Dn0TjXbvjtXfH5WsyBMjr-_13rOLp_mZ1mXb0

Diving into the primary sources rather than regurgitating someone else’s interpretation of them is how you will learn to think critically.

The syllabus certainly doesn’t claim anything as ridiculous as math itself is racist, or 2+2 is racist: in fact, it poses intriguing philosophical questions about the history and social origin of math.

Now, it may be a bit ambitious to expect K-12 students (particularly the younger ones) to be able to think about these topics, but perhaps it’s intended to keep students’ interest. Teaching math is hard and can be boring; looping math into a historical narrative could keep it exciting and be an effective tool of pedagogy.

It doesn’t say anything about core competencies of math, but that’s pretty clearly not the focus of the document.

I knew you would source in the sources you liked so no worries. The idea that the very teaching of math is racist is hilarious. The thought it should be taught differently dependent on skin color is something only a divisive liberal SJW could back. However you should stop promoting your white racist superiority math. You will like that without math you can make more phony claims.

No they most definitely are calling for it to be taught differently and they base that on color or culture. How do you have equality if you teach it different based on skin color. The subtle jab at white supremacy belies your entire motivation, and supports the theory that you think math is racist. Anyone with a rudimentary education knows that several highly mathematical civilizations developed independently in various parts of the world. Therefore math is not racist and you are.

I would like you to point out where in that curriculum it says that math should be taught differently based on skin color.

Other than that, it appears you agree with the basic premise that math arose in other cultures but for some reason object to that fact being taught in school, and think that teaching it is racist.

That’s about all the sense I can make out of your comment.

You can’t make sense of anything you disagree with because you are not objective and selectively use facts.

“Two plus two may equal four, but if the student says five, you better not correct them, oppressor! Math, in Seattle schools, will become a social justice course. But that’s not all. The U.S. government will be posited as a racist institution that must be destroyed. If this is taught to students, it’s indoctrination at its most destructive.“

“Apparently, math is now subjective. Who are you to insist two plus two equals four? It goes on to ask “Who is Smart? Who is not Smart?” Answer: the person who says two plus two equals five is not yet smart and should be corrected, even if you think it oppresses them.“

Math is not subjective. 2+2=4 period. Any teaching that conflicts with or allows a different answer is suspect regardless of the SJW position.
0 ups, 4y
You still haven’t proven anyone is teaching 2+2 doesn’t equal 4. You saying so doesn’t make it so.

Strawman is all you have.
0 ups, 4y
I asked if that’s why democrats say math is racist. Go ahead look above. I never said they were teaching 2+2 = 5, though it is directly referred to in the cited example as saying it is wrong, is of itself oppressive. Talk about a straw man, you blow over in the weakest of wind. Keep traveling maybe oz will grant you what all straw men need.
