Probably because she's not just a "mathematics teacher"?

Does she even teach math?  She has no degree in mathematics, and doesn't appear to teach any course focused on actual mathematical theories and disciplines.  What she appears to be is an SJW seeking to create "institutional racism" from the history of mathematics and its language (who knew 2+2=4 was inherently racist?).

I wonder if she considers the US standard system of measurement to be xenophobic.


Sociopol Persp Math Science This course is for anyone interested in equity-related issues in mathematics and science education. It provides an overview of sociopolitical perspectives on mathematics and science education, including how issues of identity, power, and equity play out in teachings, learning, and research. Students will develop an understanding of how racism, classism, and the politics of language operate within mathematics and science classroom and in the practice of mathematics and science in society at large. An emphasis of the course is on solutions that address social justice.
