And the new host of Jeopardy! is canceled before his first episode and stepping down. I'm not even sure what he actually did or said that's causing the furor.

I was half expecting them to explain that other birds are racist against Cuckoos and Cowbirds...

Time to cancel birdwatching.

Funny you should ask... Seriously, the ADL database is a thing of insanity. Almost everything's a hate symbol. 1, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 100%, seriously once you get through the numbers alone there's no numerals left that aren't hate symbols. Coors beer is a hate symbol, as are most religious...

It's not the word Mongrel that's the problem, it's that they use a bulldog's head as a logo, and the Keystone United skinheads (of maybe a dozen people, who mostly don't shave their heads) also use a bulldog's head in their logo.

That's really sad considering the size of the White Supremacist group in question (They number in the teens) compared with the size of the 51st Engineering Squadron.

Helen Keller's been on the cancel list for a long time now.

Yeah, I'm aware of those, my original notation was specifically that there were advanced disciplines but not 6th grade. I'd expect Quadratics to be maybe 9-10th grade. Also the instructions were for "at least two" so apparently they expect more than two answers in many cases, not sure how that...

Hmm, perhaps that standard has changed on me then and the notation I grew up with isn't used anymore.

Incorrect notation. If you want the negative square root to a positive number, say 16, you would write the equation like this: -√16 = -4 If you fail to include the negative sign the correct answer is this: √16 = 4 This standard is specifically to avoid having two correct answers to a...

Can you give me an example of this? I don't think I ever encountered such an equation before and I took lots of math, but that was many years ago and I could be behind the times now.

That's been the case for a long time now. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2020/11/16/school-district-classifies-asians-as-white-and-hilarity-ensues-n280670

It's racist of you to think that it will happen at a set time, reality is now multiple choice. That's right folks, feast your eyes on this educational campaign from Oregon! https://equitablemath.org/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery I know we've seen it before but I'm still staggered...

I think what really gets me is the requirement that the Chinese parent doesn't speak English. Not that they speak Chinese, which would at least bring something to the table, but the person needs to be unable to speak English to count. They're not asking for ability but demanding ignorance.

Addtional SF School board canceling and insanity: The parent advisory board is in trouble because they can't find enough parents willing to volunteer. Currently there's 8 slots empty due to lack of volunteers but one person volunteered for one of those slots recently, and the entire parent...

On the continuing story of San Francisco deciding to rename all their schools, at great expense. The schools can't even open but making sure the likes of Paul Revere aren't having schools named after him, for reasons that are provably false, is the board's priority. This is an interview with...
