What among these is "indoctrination"? > "teachers need to work consciously to counter racialized or gendered ideas" Is this wrong? Is it indoctrination? > "Are there word problems that challenge gender stereotypes?" I don't see the issue here. Should all word problems reflect 1920s America and ask about the challenges with the dust bowl harvest and how many bathroom stalls you need to serve a particular crowd, accounting for segregation? No that's silly. We want word problems to reflect the world we live in today, which means sometimes having physician Alice and nurse Bob. > "Learning is not just a matter of gaining new knowledge—it is also about a change in identity. As teachers introduce mathematics to students, they are helping them shape their identity as people" There's lots of discussion about how women especially, but also lots of minorities, seem to leave STEM after primary school. To me, this seems to be reminding educators that they should make an effort to keep these classes engaging and inviting for people who leave, in case the cause has historically been something in how we do math education. > "Students are able to take what they noticed and named – in this case, how gender played out in the problem" This is talking about teaching critical analysis (in the "how do I analyze a text" sense, not the "race theory" sense), where the teacher uses a math word problem as one of a number of places to do this. There's nothing wrong with this, in fact its actually really good to read critically in all contexts!
