Anti-oppression Maths

Florida trying to remove text books because they think there’s Critical Race Theory contained in them makes me day dream about what an actual math textbook could look like if it were anti-oppressive.

Example math problems could be, there’s one Asian kid and one Black kid playing in the playground, how many days until they come up with a strategic revolutionary plan to overthrow white supremacy?

Or, what is the velocity of climate change because of our carbon footprint, and what would we need to subtract in order to create a sustainable world?

How about, infinity plus infinity genders equals how many possible genders?

What are the hypotenuse and angels of the triangle that will show the dramatic increase billionaires need to be taxed?

What’s the probability of white people giving up power on their own?

What is the total area of land once borders are eliminated and stolen land is returned to our Indigenous stewards?

Calculate the total sum of reparations owed to Black folks.

When is the minority actually the majority?
