A Toronto math teacher: "If in my math class, I use an an example of Palestinian embroidery to teach pattering and algerbra, this is absolutely not antisemitic. It's Culturally Relevant and Responsive Pedagogy." What does a foreign war have to do with teaching kids to do math? The use of highly contentious Tatris is deliberately used to insert ideology into otherwise politically neutral lessons. The technical term is "generative theme" but sometimes also called "teachable moments." They're bold and training on how to do this. Social justice activism is the drug and CRRP is the hypodermic needle delivering it your children. Thus is the result of unhindered politicization of education.
