I’m a lifetime Democrat who changed careers to raise awareness of curricula which increase equity in education. I’m also concerned about the pattern of misrepresentations in Jo Boaler’s work. Given all of this, I find her framing quite troubling. thethreo.com/the-silencing-…
Boaler spins quite the narrative here. She is the victim of right-wing extremists afraid of math equity. She fails to mention that a Stanford math professor and plenty of San Francisco parents (hardly a hotbed of right-wing thinking!) are her loudest critics. Sadly, I fear…

@karenvaites "changed careers to raise awareness of curricula which increase equity in education." You became a lobbyist? and you want....credit?
@karenvaites Thank you. Identifying as a Democrat (Me, too. I'm liberal as hell) and (presumably) being a woman, helps prevent her from using gender and political identity to shield herself from criticism. We need more of this.
