Erec Smith, professor at York College in Pennsylvania and Free Black Thought co-founder, told Fox News that a Kentucky school district's recent anti-racist training is perpetuating a "victim narrative."
Smith told "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday that Louisville's Jefferson County Public Schools' "anti-racist mathematics" is feeding into a dangerous belief that everything has racist connotations.
"What is going on is that everything has to cater to a victim narrative," Smith said. "And when I say everything, I mean everything. The powers that be among the anti-racist circles, for example, really want to be thorough about this. And when I say 'thorough,' I mean thorough, yes, math is racist. They're going to racialize breakfast cereal soon! They want to touch on everything."
According to the College Fix, the district's yearlong program — "Anti-Racist Mathematics" — aims to "eliminate curricular violence and innovate mathematics education" through "anti-bias, anti-racist, and racially equitable practices."
