I'd initially missed 'explainer' pages - I was clicking what looked like links, but they weren't initially working. Even after reading some of these pages, things still don't make much sense. If there's a link to 'racism', I'm still not seeing it. Another weird one was "teachers enculturated in the USA teach math the way they were taught math". But... I was under the impression that we'd been using 'common core' stuff for the past 10+ years, and a big complaint is that teachers can't teach it because it's not how they learned. Very little of these explainers seem to make any attempt to connect the racism angle, which is disappointing. As you pointed out, bad teaching can just be bad teaching, and doesn't have to have any other explanation. A few others I saw: "Have students create mathematical definitions in their own words in groups, and bring the groups together to co-construct mathematical definitions as a class." Unless there are agreed-on definitions up front, how would you determine if anyone is correct or not? "Let’s get into partners and do a thinkpair-share. We will incorporate everyone’s ideas and try to synthesize them." I had 'group work' 30+ years ago. It sucked. It assumes that everyone even cares, or cares enough at the same level. "How do I dismantle power structures in the classroom?" Classroom Activity: Flipped learning, where students teach concepts to other students. That's just creating other power structures.
