Its not an anti-solution, and you provide neither evidence or reasoning to support your claim that it is part of a class of things that backfires. > Say there's a real problem, the police are killing people That is a real problem. Education is done in a culturally biased manner which perpetuates the disadvantage or marginalized groups is also a real problem. As is the fact that education is done by outdated methods which underserve even the best served, on top of the inequities. The former one doesn't negate the latter two. > Like… watering down math classes This is not about “watering down” math classes, but the opposite; it is about applying evidence to improve the quality and equity of mathematical instructions. I don't except that my tax dollars should be wasted on broken on biased math just because we haven't fixed racist violence by police. |
