Is the person who wrote this high? They conclude that "it was false to frame that recommendation as a mandatory directive from ODE to teachers, or to suggest the department itself said the standard idea of “showing work” is a form of white supremacy". Why would the Oregon state government spend all this money and effort to create this PDF and not have it be a recommendation for their teachers? So that teachers can maybe use it? So that they can watch Ben Sharpiro lose his shit over it?

I'm sick of these mealy-mouthed contrivances that are everywhere today. They simply can't admit that Oregon is 100% in the wrong and that they published racist pedagogy documents.
