#1 This 'white privilege' must be why I flunked calculus my freshman year at UNH.

#2 A pointless and derivative argument. Is there no limit to their stupidity?

As Barbie said, "Math is hard". But it's good exercise for your brain and you really can't be an educated person without a smattering of algebra and geometry.

Worth noting is that Gutierrez is a professor of Mathematics Education which is not the same as professor of Mathematics. Imputations that education courses are the weak sauce of the academic world are left as an exercise for the Reader.

#4 Get a load of her profile. Looks like one of those people who teach because they can't do.

#5 I'll note South and East Asians tend to be pretty good at math.

#6 Mathematics is learned through 'critical thinking', something no longer taught, nor learned through experience, in the inner cities (or most public schools).

#7 Is there no limit to their stupidity?

SteveS, the answer of course is NO, there is absolutely no limit to their stupidity.

#10 This is a very dangerous reasoning if it catches on in liberal communities.

#11 Interesting, since it may well have originated in Baghdad. The word algebra comes from arabic.

#12 Remember the fit the concerned people threw when a talking girl doll said, "Math is hard!"
Well, how can a doll be so prescient?

Not only has it already caught on, this "white privilege" nonsense is widespread among academics and leftists generally and is well on its way to being (in their eyes, anyway) beyond question.

They absolutely refuse to accept the possibility that black lives are being destroyed by ghetto youth culture, with its violence, gangs, anti-white and anti-cop hatred, drugs, teenage pregnancy and absentee fathers; instead, they blame this thing they've concocted called "white privilege."

Obviously, for every white person that gives up their privilege, one person at a disadvantage will step up to fill to their rightful place and make the world a better place.

Or maybe not.

Always easier for weak minded fucktards to turn racist and blame others for their fuck ups.

#23 Her student's love her too:
http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=1211409

"This professor is a disgrace to the teaching community. Pushes her own pathetic political views as opposed to focusing on objectively teaching the subject."

"Says things like: On many levels, mathematics itself operates as Whiteness, Things cannot be known objectively; they must be known subjectively. So you think gravity is a "white construct", or that if you just want it badly enough, your bridge will stand any load? Until 1+1 3, there are some truths that definitely aren't relative."

"Dr. G professes social justice as a constant practice, and stemming from the understanding of other's circumstances. She repeatedly holds us after class ends, making rude comments to the students who leave, including insulting a student who had to leave class to go to her job. She takes student suggestions but is condescending while practicing them"

"Rochelle basically turns lectures into discussion. Instead of taking the time to prepare a PowerPoint or basic points on that weeks readings that we had trouble with, she has the students lead a discussion and even has them be the ones to write on the board. She gets payed to have students do her work basically. A lot of readings and no clarity..."

#25 From deep in this Mexican's mandala,
A peep of awareness: "Nepantla!"
The lesion societal --
see Nezahualcoyotl --
Enlightens the pious panhandler.

Gut nuthin.
