Professor Laurie Rubel, a former high school teacher, wrote the article in the Journal of Urban Mathematics Education. She reportedly contends that meritocracy is oftentimes associated with hard work, but it ignores “systematic barriers” that prevent the opportunity of success.
Rubel reportedly recommended that math teachers use more social justice issues during lessons. Rubel, however, warned that teaching “social justice” can also be a tool of whiteness if teachers are ignorant to the experiences of their minority students.
Campus Reform linked out to a PDF file of the article where Rubel cites another scholarly article to make the case that, “Teachers often view participation of marginalized students as off-task, unproductive, or distracting, even when it reflects students’ membership of and competence in another social context, unbeknownst to the teacher.”

Then he/she does not to be a teacher of anything. So white kids want to learn and maybe some blacks don't it is a white thing. Give me a break. If you want to learn white, black, green or yellow then study.(map)
Numbskull. Hope one of her star pupils is hired to calculate her pay check, pension, etc.
"Whiteness"and "Blackness" was never a thing in my 63 year life. Humanity and fair play was. It seems these two terms are bring Rosa Parks' dilemma back into full blown race hate. Racism is being taught to our kids and we're all watching.
