The recent spate of articles on “woke mathematics” has raised the eyebrows of many people who thought that 2+2=4 was true no matter what race or ethnic background a person came from. I confess that the whole idea of mathematics being influenced by racial or cultural perspectives struck me as silly and even dangerous because it betrayed the nature of the subject. Yet, the more I read on this new wave, the more I realized that this debate isn’t about mathematics at all: It’s about mathematics education.
