There is a claim that Western math is racist. This is partly because teachers expect students to get the “right” answer because there is a “right answer.”
2+ 2 = 4 is true but so is 2+ 2 = 5, they say. Math is not objective and universal (true everywhere in the world) is also something they claim.
The word to describe this approach to math is “ethnomathematics.” If you want to understand what this is about, you will find answers in my book, Critical Race Theory and K-12 Education.
