TORONTO - "Ontario has removed language about racism and colonialism from text accompanying its math curriculum. It had said 'mathematics has been used to normalize racism and marginalization of non-Eurocentric mathematical knowledges, and a decolonial, anti-racist approach to mathematics education makes visible its historical roots and social constructions.'”
THE NEW DUMBASSERY PARTY RESPONDS:“The Grade 9 math program was changed specifically because Ontario had to finally recognize that the existing system treated Black, Indigenous and racialized students inequitably. It's pretty clear we need more of an equity and anti-racism lens in schools, not less.”
