An interesting, but controversial take on DEI/EDI policy, particularly in a curriculum. My feeling is that the author misses and misunderstands some of the important work necessary in this area.

Agreed. I think the author’s concern is about its involvement in the actual Math curriculum, which has some merit, but I find it a short-sighted perspective. I don’t think anyone is suggesting that Math concepts and rules are to be changed as a consequence of DEI considerations, rather that DEI discussions become part of the Math conversation, which I feel is perfectly appropriate
