Virginia is nixing its advanced math classes for public school students in grades 10 and under in what the state is calling its new plan for “equity.”
According to the Virginia Department of Education, all students will now be forced to attend the same math classes regardless of whether they’ve got advanced math capabilities and could excel further.
In a tweet accompanying the new “plan” this week, the VDOE said the change will help “create more equitable math classrooms” – i.e., make sure non-white students aren’t disproportionately represented in advanced classes.
“Who Gets To Be A Math Person?” the VDOE tweeted. “Read more about how educators can create more equitable math classrooms that give all students the chance to succeed, even if they don’t fit the mold of what a ‘math person’ looks like.”
The department claims that “students from marginalized groups are often expected to develop math identities in spaces where they don’t feel valued.” To help combat that pile of utter nonsense, the VDOE said that on top of making sure all students attend the same classes regardless of their proficiency levels, “Districts can select more inclusive math textbooks that speak to a greater array of student experiences,” and teachers can foster classrooms “structured to allow for debate amongst students.”

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
