Bill Gates is pumping huge sums
of money into,
a new "perverse" curriculum that teaches
children that math is a form of "white supremacy."
In recent years, Gates has,
plowed billions of dollars
into education to "shape the
information that is fed into young minds"...
As we
previously reported, Gates has
invested millions into,
a group that lobbies for children to be
declared "sexual beings"...
Yet, despite pushback against Gates's meddling
in education, the billionaire
continues to funnel cash into bolstering far-left ideology in
schools.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funded a curriculum
called "A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction." The curriculum is
run by
The Education Trust-West.
The organization listed the Gates Foundation under its
acknowledgment section for the curriculum on its website.
"We also wish to thank the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation for their generous financial support of this
project," the webpage states.
The curriculum from The Education Trust-West
titled, "Dismantling
Racism in Mathematics Instruction," offers tips and
tricks to educators to turn mathematicians in
K-12 schools into "antiracist math
educators."
It also offered "Exercises
for educators to reflect on their own biases to transform their
instructional practice."
Teachers have a central role in,
"deconstructing racism in mathematics" and
"dismantling white supremacy in math classrooms by making
visible the toxic characteristics of white supremacy culture
with respect to math," the group states.
Parents Defending Education's
Nicole Neily said in a
statement that,
Gates' funding of the "math equity" programs
is "perverse"...
Neily notes that is especially "perverse" given
the success that Gates himself has derived from proficiency in the
subject.
"It's awful," she said.
"I mean, [the part where it says] showing your answer in math
class is white supremacy culture.
"I have to take a step back and think - the people who are
teaching this, is that what they're teaching their own children?
I have to think not."
According to Education Week, about 40% of Gates's
K-12 education budget goes into math.
In 2022, the Gates Foundation announced over $1 billion in funds for
math education.
In addition to funding math education initiatives, the Gates
Foundation also provides funds for social and emotional learning (SEL),
a billion-dollar industry in K-12 education that claims to develop
students' self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills.
According to the Gates Foundation website, it provided $500,000 in
November 2020 for a curriculum developed at Yale University, called
RULER.
The curriculum includes lessons probing into
the student's emotions, personal relationships, traumas,
beliefs, and psychological triggers.
The stated purpose of the grant was,
"to support the growth of RULER in the
2020-21 school year."
One section of the curriculum focused on teaching
students to recognize societal norms and rules, and how those can be
defied:
"Make sure to explain that even though we
call these patterns 'rules,' we do not need to follow them."
The curriculum encouraged kids to "see red" on
their "mood meters," to be enraged by social justice issues.
It also said educators,
should bring inflammatory images into
the classroom to cultivate the rage among their
students.
It further asked teachers to "nudge" children
into feelings of anger by using emotionally charged imagery.
"[E]mploy strategies to nudge your students
towards feeling red when you are preparing to discuss topics
such as injustice," the materials said.
"To shift your students into the red, consider showing them
controversial photographs or news headlines, or consider
prompting them with a thought-provoking topic where they are
required to choose a side."
Parents raised concerns the Gates-funded
curriculum was turning kids into raging social justice leftists
through emotional manipulation.
Neily said it was,
"like psychological experimentation on
kids..."
"Where is the evidence for this, right, that putting children
into a state of emotional distress can make them learn better?"
she asked.
"I think it's sick that they're doing this to
little kids..."
The Gates Foundation has also funded $80 million
to the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF)
- a separate entity from the U.S. nonprofit - which wields
significant influence on global sex education...!
The NGO comprises 120 independent organizations in over 146
countries and has received - including its European network.
A sex education toolkit released in 2017 showed an insight into how
the NGO teaches sex education.
It said sex educators should have an,
"Understanding of young people as sexual
beings."
It also raised the topic of "commercial sex
work."
"Sexual activity may be part of different
types of relationships, including dating, marriage or
commercial sex work, among others," IPPF said about sex
education children under 10 should be taught.

According to the Gates-funded group, children
under 10 should also be told:
"As you grow up, you might start to be
interested in people with diverse gender identities," the
toolkit said.
The IPPF suggested in multiple instances that
children are born sexual.
Children under 10 should be taught that,
"Sexuality is a part of you from the moment
you are born.
Your sexuality develops and changes throughout your life."
