Algebraic equations (often taught in 6th grade) can easily have multiple correct answers, but I don't really think that was what these people had in mind. They just sound crazy.

Teaching math without teaching prerequisite knowledge is bad, but not because it reinforces objectivity. Christ, even when they're right they're wrong.
At least some parts of the US Navy really want to embrace Cancel Culture and Iconoclasm.

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.

This is one example from the top of my head.
A negative number times a negative number is positive, just like a positive number times a positive number is positive. So for instance in a question where you are solving for X and Y=X squared the answer can be the positive and negative version of a number at the same time.
But in that case, the answer your provide is BOTH of those.
The "correct answer" is to provide both answers.

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 single problem. Similarly once you get outside of early grade-school math, the obelus (÷) vanishes and never gets used again, because it can yield two answers to one problem if used outside simpler equations.

Well of course. I thought that's what we were talking about.
If the question was asking for something that can be one answer or the other instead one answer with multiple parts than I can't think of anything that applies off the top of my head.
In the classes I've taken in the last few years the instructors didn't include that notation and expected us to answer all the correct answers to be correct.
I suppose it's less that there are multiple possible answers and more that there is one possible answer with multiple parts.

Pay close attention to the wording..its not just ships that honor the confederacy, but ships named after anything that can be remotely linked in any way to ist-o-phobia.
Yeah not just John Stennis and Carl Vinson (the former of whom later eschewed his segregationist views which were common in the thirties and forties and the latter who was crucial in helping form the Navy to prepare us for WW2 and its ascendancy that has continued til today) but they also want to rename the USS Chancellorsville which was named after a Civil War Battle because it was a Confederacy victory
. Like... even if you are a frothingly rabid liberal iconoclast you people do realize that several thousand Union soldiers fought and died there yes?Maybe we should tear down the memorials at the battlefield itself since it could be honoring the Confederacy inadvertently.
Kinda:
Quadratic equations have exactly two answers (or a double root). When trigonmetric functions are involved, usually answers are + 2 pi * n, where n is an integer, because there are infinite answers, each 2 pi apart. But this isn't 6th grade level stuff though, and the thing they don't get is there is still an objective answer: ask for all possible answers.

The whole woke thing is suspiciously similar to the CCP campaign during the Cultural Revolution where they systemically branded anything before communism as bad and evil, destroying centuries of history and even dragging one of my ancestors out of his tomb and torching his corpse.Yeah not just John Stennis and Carl Vinson (the former of whom later eschewed his segregationist views which were common in the thirties and forties and the latter who was crucial in helping form the Navy to prepare us for WW2 and its ascendancy that has continued til today) but they also want to rename the USS Chancellorsville which was named after a Civil War Battle because it was a Confederacy victory

Which leads me to the conclusion the whole "woke, antifa, blm" thing is an effort by a foreign nation to destroy America and it's allies from within.
Which we must oppose at all cost, for the sake of our descendants.

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 works at that level.

thats coming. Keep in mind this has nothing to do with justice and everything to do with ritual humiliation.

No, its the logical outcome of the governing strategy pursued by the elite since wwII.
The real horror begins in 5-10 years when the last of the liberal boomers are gone and the monsters that the democrats have been grooming for the last generation fully take power.

Funny you should mention that; because if you trace it back far enough, what's happening now can all be connected to the Soviet Union and their effort to try and spread Communism to America, in the hopes of destroying our country from within.

Its considered bad luck to rename a ship, build a new one scrap a unnedded old one but dont rename it.
From what I can see, the US Navy basically never renames a ship that's already floating (unless it was captured from someone else), with on of the few exceptions being the USS City of Corpus Christi, which was launched under the name of USS Corpus Christi and renamed to make it clear it was named for the city.
So at worst we might end up with the USS Chancellorsville, Which Was Officially a Confederate Victory But Set Them Up to Lose Gettysburg Later, So Technically The Union Benefited the Most.
