Math professor calls simple math like 2+2 equals 4 a ‘trope’ that ‘reeks of white supremacist patriarchy’

When taking in the insanity seen in the streets of so many American cities, one only need look at the source of the radical ideology playing out, the far-left indoctrination centers known as colleges and universities.
Before you dismiss that assertion as unfair, consider that the left has now managed to even politicize math, proclaiming that 2+2 not only equals 4, but that it also “reeks of white supremacist patriarchy.”
Yes, you read that correctly.
That’s according to Brooklyn College mathematics professor Laurie Rubel — a left-wing ideologue who was a postdoctoral fellow at the leftist bastion we know as the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The educator shared with her decidedly small Twitter following that it’s a “myth” to think that math is objective or neutral.
Rubel tweeted: “along with the “of course math is neutral because 2+2=4″ trope are the related (and creepy) ‘math is pure’ and ‘protect math.’ reeks of white supremacist patriarchy. i’d rather think on nurturing people & protecting the planet (with math in service of them goals) 🌏❤️💙💚.”
