Actual math is irrelevant to this whole argument, just as actual literacy was irrelevant ~500 years ago. This isn't about math ability, it's about the fact that STEM is an obstacle to woke bureaucrats' projection of power.

I'm not sure if I buy the woke-alarmism that is rife on HN. Reading the framework, I don't see any of this "wokism."

It seems like any other guided/misguided attempt to improve the school system that has already taken feedback into account.

This entire HN thread is filled with "back in my days" and "wokism" but no one actually is disputing the content of the framework itself with actual evidence.
