The smart set says 2+2=5.
Instapundit alerts us to an article in Campus Reform announcing a stunning discovery by academics in America’s institutions of higher learning: traditional mathematics is racist. Apparently, certain pointy heads in academe are proposing that “objective mathematics is rooted in ‘white supremacist patriarchy’ and white social constructs.” Who knew?
In the article there is a fair amount of contemporary acadamese explaining it all, plus links for those who want still more, but truth be told, your Tatler, a hopeless throwback to the 20th Century, cannot make heads or tails of it (is that expression racist?), so will not post any of it here. One bit of advice, though. It might be a good idea to avoid bridges and tall buildings designed by graduates of engineering schools espousing such doctrine.


Ha! Your ne-er do well sibling did indeed have a similar post making the same point recently. Hopefully, by the time the ‘new math’ is introduced and those wokites (gobs***es) graduate we will all be in a better place!!
