Sure, only a third of American eighth graders are “proficient” in reading, just a quarter in math, and barely one in ten when it comes to U.S. history. But now, high-school students near you may get to spend up to seven weeks of class time asking “How does white rage fuel the racial wealth gap?” before lobbying their peers on what model “the U.S. should use to determine and provide monetary” reparations to descendants of slaves.
Indeed, last week, the same minds who brought you prolonged school shutdowns extracted nearly $200 billion from taxpayers in Covid slush funds, unleashed unprecedented learning loss, and triggered physical and mental-health crises among students rolled out their latest bright idea to revolutionize classrooms around the country: “reparations math.”
