Once you start this game, and you can make things mean what you want, then communication breaks down, and there's no more agreement on what anything means, so you have chaos. Everything becomes "democratic" in the worst possible way. You start voting on what words mean, but you can vote again tomorrow after you made a promise today, so you don't have to keep it. Nothing means anything anymore, and it begins to boil down to brute strength: whoever has the most physical clout wins every debate.

If one is an "expert", one should be careful to clarify the limits of what one is able to accurately predict with substantially more accuracy than a layman, even with expertise in the subject. If you can't predict outcomes any more accurately than a layman, don't go round saying, "I'm an expert, dontchya know?!" to back up predictions that are just wild speculation.

This happened to me. Standing in a 7th grade classroom cutting out construction paper letters for a bulletin board, I told student a student that I was ready to call his parents because he constantly interrupted me. I had scissors in my hand when I said this. The next morning, the principal came to my room and asked if I threatened a student with scissors. My shock was immense. I couldn't even remember cutting out the letters because I was so shocked. That afternoon the student's father and mother were ushered into my room by the assistant principal who sat there for a full 2 hours while the man threatened my job, called me vulgar names, I can't even remember. Over and over he screamed at me. I was visibly pregnant. Today, I would stand up, tell the principal to stop it, and if it didn't, I'd quit. It was horrible. I sobbed for hours. My husband made me go back to school the next day telling me if I didn't, he would win. I stayed for the insurance. After my child was born and maternity leave was up, I called them up and quit. Never went back into a classroom. And just so you know, on my evaluation for that year, the assistant principal said I was exemplary and hoped that I would never stop teaching.

This was basically my teaching career. I guess (so far) there's 39,666 other teachers who've made this same comment. I think we're all used to adults, and even other teachers saying, "I don't like math." I once asked 8th graders to line up and answer a multiplication question to go to lunch. When I got to 9 x 6 they were completely flummoxed. An assistant principal demanded to know why I was 'trying,' to teach math in a science class. Of course I explained it using state standards. I also pointed out that single digit multiplication is a 3rd grade standard.

Yes, as a former teacher I can attest to this. Of course this is an over-exaggeration, made to be humorous, so it is over the top. But it does, sadly, have some basis in reality. And it is a liberal problem; I have simply never had conservative parents storm in and aggressively demand to know why their student's grades are low.

This is a well written, directed, and acted short satire on what is happening in the US today, and yet we can see here that much of the country has no understanding of satire, or comedic drama. They are calling the film "woke" when it is the opposite of woke, which BTW, doesn't even exist. Woke to many is just a reaction to anything they don't agree with, or even understand. It's a sad commentary on the fall of education regarding Humanities, Science, and yes, Mathematics - truth in society, imagination, and yes, numbers. To followers of anti-liberalism, advancement in technology is a creature of the left, and is therefore, Satanism, except, they don't realize that Satan is what these perpetual critics of liberalism are advocating, and worshipping.

Not sure why you think it represents the right, other than the current accusations that anyone who disagrees with woke is far right. That’s a fallacy, though. Its just using slurs because there’s no actual defence. Like anything to do with biological fact is transphobic, and not wanting male rapists who’ve put a wig on to be placed in women’s prisons is being a nazi, and a student failing a test is due to racism. Maybe it’s different in your country, but my experience of this is that saying it’s left and right is a distraction. The two “sides” are Marxism and democracy/meritocracy. But because it’s portrayed as something else, our schools are getting away with teaching alternative maths.
