DEI Math

Short for “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Math.” Math products or services that right-wing math educators and MAGA parents have chastised for their “woke” content, and have called on their lawmakers to censor them from their states to protect the young minds from “foreign indoctrination.”

Some Singapore math publishers have apparently been warned by some white Taliban curriculum censors in some red states—they need to remove pages that promote multicultural or DEI math, such as depicting Chinese, Arabic, and Hindu numerals for the numbers one to nine, or stating that the theorem named after Pythagoras was known to Chinese and Egyptian mathematicians long before the Greek numerologist was born.
