Math, Meritocracy and Race

Brooklyn College Education Prof. Claims Math Is ‘White Supremacist Patriarchy’ - это пишет The Jewish Voice 08/09/2020, не кто-нибудь. a вот из Bklyner., еще в 2018-м:
In an open letter from CUNY’s faculty/staff union, Professor James Davis, the Professional Staff Congress (PSC) union’s Brooklyn College Chapter Chair, urges for a proper statement by CUNY officials supporting Dr. Rubel. He claims that the professor has been receiving hostile emails, including threats of sexual and physical assault– something Dr. Rubel also speaks about in the podcast. In fact, she received emails from people bashing on her about being a woman, a Jew, and gay. - Math, Meritocracy and Race – Brooklyn College Professor Defends Her Work
вот ее собственные слова as quoted by The Jewish Voice:
“The idea that math (or data) is culturally neutral or in any way objective is a MYTH. I’m ready to move on with that understanding. Who’s coming with me?” Rubel wrote in a tweet.

“Along with the ‘of course math is neutral because 2+2=4’ trope and the related (and creepy) ‘math is pure’ and ‘protect math.’ Reeks of white supremacist patriarchy,” Rubel added. “I’d rather think on nurturing people & protecting the planet (with math in service of them goals).”
