Chicago Teachers Union Prez: Inject Politics Into Math to Promote Social Justice

Chicago Teachers Union Prez: Inject Politics Into Math to Promote Social Justice | Truth Revolt
Karen Lewis, president of the Chicago Teachers Union, spoke at the Network for Public Education conference in Austin, Texas, recently and implored her audience of public educators to promote social justice by politicizing math.
Giving a nod to her fellow Milwaukee Teachers Union president and liberal activist pal Bob Peterson, Lewis explained how to promote social justice in math word problems, such as changing "Johnny" to "José" and instead of writing "Johnny buys some pencils," change it to, "José works in a factory."
