As a judge recently ruled, a public school is not a marketplace of ideas. It is for indoctrinating children in a single set of ideas that dominates the entire curriculum. For example, mathematics are subordinated to Critical Race Theory in liberal jurisdictions like Pittsburgh:

The district is paying $52,000 to Nth Education Partners for a series of eight, two-hour long virtual workshops where “participants will reflect on the instruction and pedagogy that supports schools in moving toward justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in math classrooms,” according to the district.

A guide published by Nth Education Partners explains why math should be all about Critical Race Theory:

“Many believe the myth that math is the most neutral or unbiased subject. This misconception often leads to confusion about how racism, oppression, or social justice is relevant to the field of mathematics. Our objective here is to reveal the invisible structures and norms that uphold systems of oppression in mathematics education and make them visible.”

Unsurprisingly, the district has low test scores in math, despite blowing $36,000 per year per student.

Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) exams … are given to third and eighth graders. In 2023, 60% of the third graders and 82% of the eighth graders were not proficient in math.

It would make more sense to test them in Democrat ideology.
