A lot of this is the result of efforts by Stanford faculty and (Stanford-owned) Youcubed. If you are a Stanford alum or a parent in San Francisco, please reach out to Stanford leadership to let them know about your concern. You can send an email similar the one below, to any/all of these folks: daniel.schwartz@stanford.edu (Dean of the Graduate School of Education https://ed.stanford.edu/faculty/danls https://ed.stanford.edu/faculty/danls) provost@stanford.edu (Persis Drell) president@stanford.edu (Marc Tessier-Lavigne) tfenner@stanford.edu (Deputy General Counsel) Subject: Concerns Regarding Stanford's Involvement in CMF and YouCubed Dear [Recipient's Name], My name is [Your Name], and I am a concerned parent of a school-age child living in San Francisco. I am writing to express my deep concern about Stanford's connection to the California Mathematics Framework (CMF) and YouCubed. As a prestigious institution, Stanford's involvement in the promotion of these policies and practices has a significant impact on the quality of education our children receive. I am hoping to hear from you regarding the university's stance on this matter and the actions being taken to address the concerns of parents and faculty alike. Recently, I came across a list of Stanford faculty who have signed a statement expressing their concerns about the CMF (https://sites.google.com/view/mathindatamatters/home https://sites.google.com/view/mathindatamatters/home). The signatories come from a diverse range of STEM fields, including the medical school, business school, and political science. This demonstrates a clear disagreement among the university's own quantitative faculty about the direction of math education proposed by YouCubed and the CMF. As a concerned parent, I would like to know who at Stanford bears responsibility and liability for the educational effects of what YouCubed is advocating for math education. Given that YouCubed is owned by Stanford and not by an individual faculty member, I believe that the university should be held accountable for the potential negative consequences of these policies on our children's education. I would like to draw an analogy with the case of Dr. Scott Atlas, a former Stanford faculty member whose controversial views on COVID-19 led to public outcry and concern. Just as the university had to address and clarify its stance on Dr. Atlas's views, I believe it is essential for Stanford to publicly address the concerns raised by its own faculty regarding the CMF and YouCubed. I kindly request a detailed response on this matter, as it is of utmost importance to the future of our children's education. As a leading institution in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, Stanford has a responsibility to ensure that the educational policies it supports and promotes are in the best interests of our students. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]
