You can tell sportswriters are not real journalists because they fail to identify the obscene gesture involved. Fortunately for you, I have done the research, and can report that it is because Lebron did the big balls dance.

"Pa. electricity prices will be rising by as much as 50% next week." The real inflation is all the overtime the phrase "as much as" is being forced to work. And nowhere in the article does it explain the utility raising rates 50% was previously charging substantially less than average.

I'm just saying, I'd like to know more about the word problem students struggled to solve because it used gendered pronouns, because while I'm skeptical, I'm also open to learning and improvement, and details will help my understanding.

A law that requires banks to administer a math test with every mortgage application, and if you fail badly enough, you get a discounted interest rate.
I really don't know how we intend to enforce truly equitable math, except by teaching more math. Whether you teach it in schools or not, some people are going to learn how compound interest works. Is the plan to ban such knowledge from the internet? Or to reshape society so that knowledge of natural phenomena is of no use?

I maxed out at diff eq, and cannot in fact calculate orbital velocities by hand, but I use some variation of understanding rate of change damn near everyday. I don't know how people navigate life with only middle school math.
First comment about this article is the implied subtext that nobody really needs calculus. But multivariable calculus, which most people don't get to until college if it all, is incredibly useful for understanding all sorts of things about the world around us. Second comment is that this is quite the bait and switch, or motte and bailey, where we complain about the pronouns in math class, but then the example provided is completely unrelated.
And while some critics roll their eyes at the idea of, for instance, using “they” and “them” as a non-gendered singular pronoun, educators like Pariso say insensitive language can be a significant obstacle to learning.
She noted that an earlier draft of the framework included sample lessons on calculating a school cafeteria’s food waste — but that many of her students would have found the entire exercise alienating because they lack food security at home.

Okay, I like this article.
If you walk into an Abercrombie & Fitch, the first thing you’ll notice is this: It smells exactly the way you remember. It smells like a hot upperclassman leaning up against your locker, toying with his puka shell necklace, asking to “borrow” your algebra homework. It smells like popping the collar of not one but two polo shirts, worn one on top of the other. It smells like a ripped miniskirt that costs $98.
