The sinister attempts to ‘decolonise’ mathematics
In this world view it is not insulting to suggest non-Europeans prefer ‘other ways of knowing’ to rationality and science.This reminds me of that "racial sensitivity guide" that told employees punctuality and logical objectivity were "white expectations" not to be applied to persons of color.In New Zealand the school chemistry and biology syllabus has been decolonised and now invokes the concept of mauri, or life force, to give the atomic theory a new spiritual dimension.I went to high school and college so deep in the bible belt you could put an empty Coke can to your ear and hear banjo music and our textbooks still didn't have anything like that bullshit.
