Students will use algebra skills to "evaluate" the math involved in different reparations proposals, according to the unit overview.

Well, with math scores as low as they are, they'll have to make sure the students understand Algebra before they can start the unit.
I hope they take into account the trillions and trillions already poured into said communities over the years to keep them subjugated to democrats for eternity.
“reparations” for what?
The 600,000 war dead to end slavery should be factored in as well.
Their lives mattered.
2+2= racism
This will probably end up like the BLM fiasco with the honchos grabbing millions and the disappearing into the woodwork. This effort is also probably sponsored by Democrats to win votes in 2024 and after the election will disappear.
‘Reparations Math,’ = gimme dat!
I want Blacks to start paying me for my family involvement in the Union Army during the Civil War. Either that, or they can go back to Africa.
These folks only care about one thing - $$$$$ , not inconvenient history or their own lack of self sufficiency. Clearly... its all sponsored by the 1619 Project so facts, data, sacrifices and other pertinent things don’t matter.
What a great opportunity for curious young social justice warriors to learn all about fractions:
If two sacatras, one mulato and three quadroons rob four octoroons of three iphones, forty-three dollars, and two pairs of Jordans, how much loot does each thug get?
If Kunta was taken from Botswana in 1730 and brought to America, was sold at auction for £14, and the rate of inflation averages 3% per year, and the 2023 exchange rate is £1 equals $1.25, use the compound interest formula to determine how much would Kunta's family be owed today. Show your work.
2023-1730=293 years
A = P(1 + r/n)nt
P = 14
r = 0.03
n = 1
t = 293
14(1 + 0.03/1)293/1 = £80,804.37
£80,804.37 * 1.25 = $101,005.46
Kunte's family is owed $101,005.46
Does anyone know just how many schools use the 1619 Project Education Network in their core curriculum???
Reparations were paid in the years 1861-1865.
Over 700,000 dead, tens of thousands gave up arms, legs, eyes for the cause.
As Thomas Jefferson said, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
Whom were the Patriots? The side you were on no matter what the uniform color it was. And the Tyrants, the side you were fighting, no matter what uniform they wore.
If reparations are paid, most will be broke in a year and demanding more, More, MORE!
Rudyard Kipling said it best...
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
‘Reparations Math,’ which focuses on whether descendants of enslaved African Americans should be paid reparations and the ‘basis’ of the payments.”
How about basic math and subtraction.
1619 Payback??
We/America did not become a country until 1794, 165 years after 1619.
England would have been responsible. Sue them for payback!
Multiply all that work by 0, and you get $0, the real amount.
bkmk
Screw you.
