>“curricula emphasizing terms like Pythagorean theorem and pi perpetuate a perception that mathematics was largely developed by Greeks and other Europeans.”

Damn Chinese, Arabic, Indian and Mesopotamian people, they ruined everything with their Geometry and Algebra.

Oh, wait...

Dear Gutierrez, Science and Math doesn't give a crap about race/ethnics and even less to crybabies as you. And as I say this being a Spaniard, an odd blend between an Iberian, an Atlantic/Mid-European (Goth) and Mediterranean (Who knows, point a huge chunk between Tartesos and Rome) people.

In the Hispanic world (the actual one, not the joke invented in the US) no one gives a shit about the race. It's all about nurture against nature. Since the old times. (Uno no es de donde nace, sino de donde pace) -Lit. one does not belong from where he was born, but where he is lying - - -> Home is where the heart is.

BTW. Latinx -> US creation, not Hispanic. We usually do Science subjects in Spanish AND in English once we reach University/College, thanks. No one it's hurt. Skills on technical English are a must, period.

Black and Latino students here (inmigrants from overseas) do it perfectly fine in Spain. First they study in Spanish, and later in English which is much harder to achieve at the age of 18-20. Stop the ethnic bullshit, please.

Our country invented Algebra, please. European Spaniards learnt it fine from the Moors in ARABIC more than five centuries ago. Later they translated it into Latin and into Castillian Spanish. Are the American children challenged, or what?

You look like the sickos who put "White Only/Colored" labels on everything.

The actual struggle for these children is not the race. It's money and parents being underpaid.
