A radical new push to purge math curricula of allegedly racist practices like showing your work and finding the correct answer is bankrolled by one of the nation's most prominent nonprofits: the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The Gates Foundation is the only donor mentioned on the homepage of A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction, a group of 25 education organizations whose curriculum states that asking students to show their work and find the right answer is an inherently racist practice.
Over the past decade, the Gates Foundation has given upward of $140 million to some of the groups behind Pathway, whose antiracist resources are the basis for a new teacher training course offered by the Oregon Department of Education.
The Education Trust, a California-based group that promotedthe September release of Pathway's antiracist "toolkit," has received $86 million from the Gates Foundation, including a $3.6 million grant awarded in June.
Teach Plus, another group dedicated to creating an antiracist culture in K-12 schools, has received more than $27 million from the Gates Foundation. The group's board members include former Democratic congressman George Miller and Obama-era secretary of education John King Jr.—who is also the president of The Education Trust.
WestEd, a nonprofit committed to dismantling "systemic barriers" in schools, has received more than $35 million from the Gates Foundation since 2009. UnboundEd, anorganization dedicated to helping teachers "disrupt systemic racism" in the classroom, has received nearly $14 million in grants from the Gates Foundation since 2015.
The Gates Foundation has given smaller sums to other groups behind the Pathway, the latest attempt to bring critical race theory—the idea that American political and economic institutions are inherently racist—into schools.
Unique about Pathway is its focus on mathematics. The group's first guidebook, "Dismantling Racism in Mathematics Instruction," asks teachers to observe how math "is used to uphold capitalist, imperialist, and racist views." Worksheets included in the toolkit ask teachers to create a list of antiracist qualities to cultivate during the school year.
The program also sets monthly goals. In November, educators must review how they "authentically" include minority and multilingual students in math class. In May, teachers will evaluate how they "dismantle power structures in the classroom."
The Pathway has released a total of five guidebooks designed to help middle school math teachers. These guidebooks ask teachers to honor when students use incorrect problem-solving strategies and identify "white supremacist practices" within the education system as the cause of minority students' "underachievement."
The Gates Foundation declined the Washington Free Beacon‘s request for comment. The organization's K-12 education grantmaking "supports schools in their work to improve student outcomes," particularly for minority and low-income students, according to its website.
School districts and state education departments across the country have taken steps to weave critical race theory into K-12 curricula in the wake of last summer's racial justice protests.
The North Carolina Board of Education earlier this month approved an updated history curriculum that would teach second graders "how various indigenous, religious, gender, and racial groups advocate for freedom and equality." Fourth-grade students will learn how "revolution, reform, and resistance" shaped North Carolina.

They (the elite) are driving the people to be an ignorant, illogigal flock that can be controlled by mere feelings and illusions, ignoring the facts and real science. Antifa, BLM and other creations of their's are inable and unwilling to have an intelligent constructive dialog. Instead they come steaming with their illusion based hatred instilled in them by the education (indoctrination), fake news, media manipulation and controlled social media. Problems that could be solved by calmly analysing them together without heated confrontation, name calling and profanities will only lead into physical conflict and violence. That is just what the establisment wants, the human flock divided into guarreling sections for whatever ridiculous differences.
Stoking up racist disharmony is a desperate ongoing move by the elites because it is 'on going' and means it fails. They are wasting millions on a hateful agenda that will never succeed but they can't see it. Unlike other races the white race do not centrally identify with being so. The whiteness is inherent and not at the forefront of consciousness in any capacity at all for the Vast majority. It does not exist for a suitable group identity. The hateful white wash splashed out is just that, an undercoat for an imaginary group of people that helps make them visible in a clown world setting. Because it's not real in the consciousness world for those they want it to apply it to.
They try to divide us by all possible ways, not only by race. Sexual (dis)orientation, women against men, class struggle, children against their parents, whatever they can imagine is legit for them. They seem desperate indeed. And the schemes have now gone so extreme that they are obvious and ridiculous for everyone to start thingking; "What's really going on?"
That's right LP but good news they have cocked up and become victims of their own non success. This has occurred with the LGBT sector, a major component of Antifa/BLM and it is causing immense concern for them which they are voicing in their different groups. The lgbt group has become unruly and difficult to manage with continuous hate and spite spat out towards each other daily and threats of potential violence. This unpredicted in-fighting and animosity erupted when the gender ratio was increased from 2 categories to an infinite number which then required new names, descriptions and pronouns to describe the identity. As more and more identities evolved they started to overlap into the pre existing groups and infringe on others whose members have become incredibly angry and confrontational. Antifa behind it all is now focused on trying to quell the dissent as it all backfires with vengeance and gets out of hand. There is no solution at this point and the ugly mess has turned into a logistic nightmare for them. The lgbt sector can no longer safely be included in any anti fascist protests they had planned. (Their migrant sector seems to be distancing themselves from them at this time also I've noticed ) Their stupidity was going overkill in division to the point of being non-workable and self destructive. I have also noticed that they have Not been turning up to fight off any of the political protests recently which is unusual and out of character for them. They are losing the game.
