The Oregon Dept. of Education

In Oregon, they’ve gone too far

In terms of education,

Instructing teachers hoping to

Prevent discrimination.

 

A course designed to tackle

Racial tendencies in math

States that “getting the right answer”

Sends kids on a toxic path.

 

Requiring the students to

Display the work they’ve done

Reeks of “white supremacy culture,”

As the message has been spun.

 

Instructors will be told not to

Perpetuate the thought

That there are always answers,

Right or wrong, that must be sought.

 

Before this, sports in schools declared

No losers were allowed,

For “everyone’s a winner”

Made each student feel so proud.

 

But mathematics in that model

Doesn’t quite belong,

For adding 2 plus 2

And getting 5 is simply wrong!
