Sounds fun. I do wonder what math they’ll go into. As a queer person who nebulously loves math, I can see how normal conversations could be hijacked and turned into a math discussion.
Maybe that’s what this will be: a program designed to pull queer teenagers together into a safe space where they can explore different areas of math guided by math pedagogy professionals. This might mean not always going the algebra-geometry-calculus direction, but rather maybe some fun probability stuff, graph theory, the traveling salesperson problem, the Towers of Hanoi, things in discrete math that could be fun to talk about.
I can’t believe you’re just peddling this sick filth in public! Just openly embracing pedagogy and excusing the “math-attracted persons” movement! What is our country coming to!!!
These people have never been smart. 22 years ago a mob of them attacked a pediatrician’s home because they didn’t know “pediatrician” and “paedophile” meant different things.
Had to share a work van with one of these sort for work. I would get an hour of details on how math is just “a trick to make people believe certain things”
Also “Jews are from Saturn”
And “the chemtrails are full of microchips”
There is literally nothing you can do to sway any of their beliefs, because basic reason and logic are the enemy.
Rather, maybe we need to subvert their base instincts in a way they can turn them towards logic despite their preconceptions and inability to process basic information. Kind of like the mobile game market or unethical media companies which have free reign to influence these people for malicious self gain.
The issue is that ethical people are too upstanding to use such subversive means, which means they will ultimately lose out in our current socio-economic ecosystem
I think smart people need to fight evil with the same tools used by evil, until such tools are invalidated.
You just reminded me of this guy I worked with about 30 years ago. One time, pretty much out of the blue, he said “black people are from Jupiter and they’re a very war-like race.”
My dad and I were at some event with this guy. We didn’t go to events with him any more after that.
I already know the trans agenda is to let trans soldiers fight, but what’s the math agenda? I want in.
The “Math Agenda” boils down to the idea that every subject is supposedly being used to push the LGBT agenda.
This is what they are freaking out about:

And this is them freaking out about it:

The amount of times I’ve needed to explain that pederast and pedagogue are not the same isn’t 0, but it is less than 3

The truly terrifying thing is that ANY teacher could be a pedagogue!
In my humble opinion, all of them should be!
If people like you had their way the world would be full of intellectual types
lewd joke
I don’t know about the country, but I’m cumming to math ;) :::

You reminded me I need to get my COVID booster. My 5G signal is weak.
How do you tell which group is using those tools for good and evil?
Unfortunately, the only way to do that is to kill them all and let the historians sort them out.
