There was plenty of right wing politics in my schooling... do you not remember singing the national anthem every day? I got suspended for speaking out against the Iraq war. History books glorified genocidal maniacs like Andrew Jackson. A blurb about equal pay would be completely inoffensive in comparison if the question weren't poorly written and perhaps intentionally misleading.

- t-3 5y agoWhy should math be any less political? Anyway, I'm quite sure some of the word problems had political interpretations, but I didn't do any homework at all for the entirety of high school (and very little earlier) and didn't read my math textbooks either. "Politics" is a very weak excuse for banning these books, when the poorly written problems are of much greater concern!
