Uhh... Please do explain how simply looking at math a different way will "end white privilege"  You do realize that math is math no matter how you do it right? and this was simply showing kids more practical(mostly) ways of coming up with the same answers. Many of which are actually quite useful in the real world once I got used to it with my kids... I also noticed that a ton of people who claim to hate common core math actually use a lot of the techniques when they do math in their head and not on paper, they just don't realize it.  It's ridiculous to hate something simply because it's not the way we were taught so it's hard for us to really learn and understand it when our children are doing it.  It's just like the math we used to do when we were kids, some of it is a better methods and some of it is a worse, but the results are the same.. The path you take to get there is the only difference and some of it is extremely useful in real world situations when you have no pen, paper, or time for calculators.... Of course some of it is bullshit, but we used to use the same exact language to describe some of the methods we were taught math when we were children....
