I wonder if common core was the predecessor to CRT. I saw similar albeit lighter reactions to CC back then.
I had completely forgotten about the obsession with common core. Most of it had to do with opposition to teaching long division in a step-by-step way, right? I remember my uncle freaking out about a video of a woman teaching multiplication by showing how to add sets of numbers. He described it as common core math and for the life of me I can't understand exactly what conservatives were trying to say. I think the idea was that schools wanted to dumb down math to make everyone pass.
i think the reality was that American education is so poor and kids are so behind that teaching very remedial math is probably an improvement
