(The WSJ hypertext link is just to the website, which isn't quite the same thing as presumably you can pick & choose guides, including choosing none at all.) FWIW, here are the two publications that contain the phrase "white supremacist": https://equitablemath.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/1_STRIDE1.pdf https://equitablemath.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11... and https://equitablemath.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/5_STRIDE5.pdf https://equitablemath.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11... The usage in those publications is entirely unsurprising given the themes and overall narrative. But the absence of their literal usage in the formal draft curriculum is presumably deliberate. Sort of like the way a proposed Civil War curriculum in Texas or Alabama might conspicuously avoid literally saying something like, "the Civil War was fought over states' rights, not slavery". Which, BTW, is something my Florida public high school history teacher actually said in the 1990s as part of his bespoke Civil War curriculum. Even though the subtext was there in the presentation to some degree, the material itself was mostly benign, so it actually did matter somewhat that he said that explicitly.
