"What in the world is it all for, this manipulation of polynomial expressions?"
An NCTM journal asking why we're requiring so many students to learn advanced algebraic operations ... in 1909.
—We spend $107,575,000,000 more on police than on public housing.
—15 states spend $27,000 more per person in prison than they do per student.
How about instead of pouring more funds into our brutal systems of policing and mass incarceration, we invest in communities?
The murder of #DaunteWright is rooted in white supremacy and results from the intentional criminalization of Black and Brown communities.
This system can’t be reformed.
It must be dismantled and a real system of public safety rebuilt from the ground up.

@adchamberlain I'm interested in the data on the economic disruption when school have abruptly had to close due to covid outbreak and how that impacting parents needing to go back home with little to no notice. Or bringing the virus home and infecting the working parents.
I have many bad days. Never once did I think to murder innocent people. The ways in which law enforcement works to explain away heinous acts by white men is not surprising but always despicable.
