I'll exemplify one of the many ways Math Education is racist:
What names do u remember hearing in math class? Maybe Pythagoras or Newton, or even Euler. Notice what they have in common.
Now, for all the algebra you've done in your life, how often have u heard of al-Khwarizmi?
I'm telling you right now, I'm not uploading my fucking ID to use social media and neither should you
We need to force this fascist government to throw these authoritarian bills in the trash
If they cared about kids, they'd ban GenAI everywhere. Instead they push it in schools
This article completely misses the point. Purpose of schools not just to prepare students for specific careers but teach them critical thinking, encourage creativity & develop communication& social skills so they can benefit fr/future opportunities. AI undermines all these skills
They took away textbooks and said “use websites.”
Then they complained that kids were not learning.
So they said “take away the technology”.
But they didn’t have the funding to replace the textbooks.
They said “figure it out”.
And continued to blame teachers.
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
What the actual hell.
And you guys ask me why I don’t like AI. It’s because of the intentions behind it.
These people openly talk about turning intelligence into a utility they control and sell back to humanity like electricity.
One man or one company should never have that much influence over human thinking, creativity, learning, and decision making.
I genuinely don’t think kids should be heavily exposed to AI this early either. A generation growing up depending on machines to think for them is dangerous long term.

This afternoon I hand-delivered a letter to the office of the Canadian Prime Minister signed by the family, friends, and loved ones of 11 people with Canadian passports who were sailing onboard the most recent civilian flotilla headed to Gaza, illegally intercepted by Israeli military in an act of maritime piracy yesterday. They have all been kidnapped by Israel.
The Canadian government can never say they didn’t know. Letters have been delivered in person, by mail, and electronically by email. The loved ones of those previously onboard and now remain in Israeli custody deserve a response.
The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.

Joe Biden and his administration were so committed to slaughtering Palestinian children, they let the Sudanese be slaughtered too. The Democrats clapped along.
Once you understand that genocide - the totality of crimes, one that requires the full institutional consent of an entire society to enable and obscure - isn’t actually a red line in any meaningful way for even your favorite progressives and self-described socialists in their keffiyehs, except as rhetoric and career fuel, that deep ick in your stomach gets considerably worse.
Much, much worse.
Congratulations to you. Children are innocent and lovable. Those 168 children that your boss killed in the school in Minab, and you justified, were also children. When you kiss your baby, think of the mothers of those children.
I don’t know if anyone will care about what I am saying, but the outside world must know exactly what is happening here… not later, but now.
What we are experiencing in Gaza has gone beyond the limits of human endurance. The camps have turned into a terrifying hotspot for the spread of diseases. With the beginning of summer and thousands of families crowded into extremely tight spaces next to garbage dumps, illness is spreading rapidly, as if it has become part of daily life. There is also an incomprehensible media silence regarding the scale of this growing health catastrophe, despite repeated warnings from medical teams and field workers.
Skin diseases, infections, and contagious illnesses are spreading widely, especially among children, in an environment that lacks the most basic conditions of hygiene or treatment. Rats are everywhere between the tents, insects are spreading heavily and causing continuous injuries, and there are no means of control such as poisons or pesticides. My nieces are part of this reality… their bodies are covered in painful bites that worsen every day without effective treatment.
The situation is collapsing with no real solutions. Medicines are scarce, disinfectants are almost nonexistent, and unsafe water is contributing directly to the spread of disease, while the healthcare system is beyond its capacity.
As of now, cases are estimated at around 160,000 people and still increasing, most of them children. This is not an exaggeration… it is a complete health collapse inside the camps.
