Get that, but knowing why they got it wrong should be the main objective.
Where does racism comes into the equation.

https://mynorthwest.com/2604518/rant...acist-lunacy/?A group of fringe educators have compiled a six-part toolkit offering an “integrated approach” to developing an “anti-racist math practice” viewed through a social justice lens. It chides the “concept of mathematics being purely objective” as “unequivocally false.” It argues focusing on the “right answer” to math equations is an example of white supremacy.

Some things in life are correct and some are incorrect. They seem to be saying that by focussing on the correct things, we are suppressing the incorrect things which is, apparently, racist.
Alas, this leads to (what us white supremacist racists call) a reductio ad absurdum argument, or, in short, self-contraditory.
