    Berry says the convoy wants to save children from [ā€¦] and the math agenda

    uuhmā€¦whatā€¦?

          Well it is a gateway to calculus, soon youā€™ll be able to be closer to understanding problems that include changing values like acceleration. Okay I may be misremembering calculus but there was way more Pythagoras theorum involved than youā€™d guess at first look.

            And ā€œchanging valuesā€ is progressive brainwashing. The Truth isnā€™t variable; itā€™s constant: 3 = 1. Epsilon-Delta = Epstein-Data! Trigonometry is all about the SIN OF XY ā€” thatā€™s gay pornography and Greek pederasty being taught to your children as ā€œmathā€. SIN WAVES are Liberal Lewdness in Our Schools! Donā€™t let your children be tangent to these dangerous curves!

        Big Dick Pythagoras is what they used to call him actually. That hypotenuse shit just really isnā€™t safe for the children.

      Itā€™s about time someone stood up to math.

      If god wanted us to count past ten weā€™d have more fingers.

        Later in the story they talk about the supposed MAP (or ā€œminor-attracted personsā€) agenda ā€“ maybe ā€œthe Math Agendaā€ was a misspeak referring to that?

        But on the other hand, these people are also lunatics so šŸ¤·

      It is of acute importance to stay vigilant of mathematicians; we cannot go on tangents and let their plots divide us. Iā€™m sure theyā€™re integrating themselves into positions of power, and knowing even a fraction of their schemes could be of prime significance to factoring out their plans to subtract our freedoms.

      Could be this? https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/17/us/florida-math-textbooks-critical-race-theory

      ā€œ DeSantis said state officials ā€œgot ridā€ of Common Core, a standardized teaching method rolled out in 2010. The method requires children to group numbers to solve arithmetic problems, rather than the vertical ā€œcarry the oneā€ method familiar to most adults. The approach goes beyond simple computation to emphasize deeper mathematical concepts. The department said some of the rejected textbooks incorporated Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and references to critical race theory ā€“ two frameworks or philosophies that some conservative groups claim are being used to indoctrinate students. Some schools around the country have recently used SEL strategies to help students cope with stress and the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning defines SEL as a teaching framework aimed at helping ā€œyoung people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.ā€ More than a dozen states have set standards for teaching SEL in grade schools, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. But as more states consider SEL strategies, conservative groups have claimed critical race theory is embedded into the framework.ā€
