"[L]est you think you can escape the social justice dogmatism infecting the liberal arts, a story out of Seattle shows how social justice warriors will leave no stone unturned in their effort to fundamentally transform America.

Fundamentally, mathematics is a logical system that enables indirect measurement of objective reality, which precedes—historically and conceptually—race.
It is even more absurd than 'racist physics' or 'racist chemistry'.

..especially the comment by someone called Lucky.
For those interested in education, who recognize that some children are disadvantaged, and who would like to know what to do about it (apart from blaming white oppression etc) take a look at the Michaela Community School in UK,

"At Michaela Community School, pupils... know how lucky they are, and they are encouraged to think about those outside who are less fortunate."

This story is from memory, I read that there was a school excursion to the Observatory. The children were well dressed, quiet and walked fast, they did not meander, gawk or gossip, instead, the public looked at and admired the children. When they made purchases they used words- please, and thank you.
I suggest that this is not just the luck of having good teachers, it has developed into leadership.
Luck, like wealth, spreads.
It may not be what you call Objectivist, it concentrates on traditional education, that school is doing very well.
A good example of ignoring the wokes who have wormed to the top of education education, and instead use teachers who know what they are doing.
It is a relief to read good news, the theory is sound, it agrees with a lot of the way I think, and the results - the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Rather than call it Objectivist in our promotional material, we are calling it Common Sense Realist and including in our pantheon of inspirations, along with Aristotle and Ayn Rand, Thomas Reid, Herbert Spencer, and Albert Jay Nock. The common thread running through all these is that sensory perception is sufficient map reality, and that reason is sufficient to fill in the blanks and sort out the seeming contradictions.
Although I wouldn't do this in practice, my goal is to prepare a sixteen-year-old to be dropped into the middle of the jungle in Laos and to find his way home.
There’s a good reason they’re called, “useless idiots.”
What an eye-opener!
The claim that maff is racist, is itself racist. It is an example of Hitleresque polylogism that holds that there is no science, but only Jewish science, Aryan science, etc. In other words, Nazis and Postmodernists/Intersectionalists agree that reality is a social construct, reason is a myth, and history is a literary genre.
