White privilege bolstered by teaching math

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.

Her ability to keep employment is literally based upon being a race baiter.

Quote:Dr. Gutierrez' scholarship focuses on equity issues in mathematics education, paying particular attention to how race, class, and language affect teaching and learning.

If she concluded "they need more 2-parent families, their parents need to work with them more at home when they're particularly young, and they need to try harder" then she'd be unemployed. The only way she keeps getting money is if she can keep focusing on "equity issues" in "race".

Note it doesn't say IF it is due to race. It says HOW it is due to race.
