The woke will soon realise that the only way to make education "equitable" (an euphemism for "equal outcome") is to remove education entirely.
This, again, draws a funny parallel between the woke and the Umbridge character from Harry Potter.

Stop blindly trusting people because they use some of the same political buzzwords you like.
They aren't proposing any reduction in math education, it's actually a proposal to try to teach more students, more math.
Most schools in the us start in b early middle school a set "advanced" math course. And if for some reason you weren't accepted in 6th grade, it is totally very difficult to get into the advanced math tract as it is taught and assumed that you need every year of math perfectly in order or you will be "lost".
No other subject is taught like this. I had many people move in and out of honors classes from 6-12th grade. But very rarely people move into the honors math classes from non honors. Kinda a big sign the current system is stifling
In this case those seem to be two different things. At least I hope.
Do you agree with the Oxford definition?
> alert to injustice in society, especially racism.
> "we need to stay angry, and stay woke"
Like calling someone self-righteous.
Also, I don't think the "especially racism" is accurate anymore (at least among the ironic use, which, in my experience, is the more common one). The stronger association nowadays is with like, positions about minorities among sexualities and gender identity, not primarily around race.
Was this really unclear to you?
Are you not exposed to this kind of use frequently?
This is a very important question.
Oxford says:
> alert to injustice in society, especially racism.
> "we need to stay angry, and stay woke"
I would love to learn the exact definition which the grandparent uses internally.
Other terms which have one English definition and yet widely disparate meanings depending on political indoctrination in the USA:
- Capitalism
- Communism
- Socialism
- Social Democracy
- I'm sure many others
If we could at least start by having the same meanings for very important words like this, then maybe I would have more hope for US stability.
Hacking this basic issue seems like the most disruptive and positive move possible in US civil discourse.
Anyone who uses "woke" as a pejorative is promoting sleep -- personal and social unawareness. And thus the terror continues...
