"The manufactured outrage over the California math recommendations keep getting posted on HN. Read the actual text of the plans here [1]."
This is not manufactured outrage. I have read the framework (and many of the sources cited as support for the recommendations), and I am outraged.
If you follow the footnotes, you'll find instances where:
- the framework incorrectly states the conclusion/claim in the paper/study/web-page
- the framework relies on a claim in a paper/study/web-page, when the paper/study/web-page lacks sufficient evidence to support the claim due to poor experimental design, poor interpretation, or lack of evidence altogether
"The FAQ is at [2] and directly responds to these characterizations."
The FAQ does not accurately portray the implications of the recommendations. (I read both the framework and FAQ a few months ago.)
