The Ontario mathematics curriculum unsurprisingly "emphasizes the need to recognize and challenge systems of power and privilege, both inside and outside the classroom, in order to eliminate systemic barriers." At least, it did until National Post and Toronto Sun writers complained, after which is was quietly removed, along with a number of other statements addressing race, environment, social justice, inequity and discrimination. At a time when we should be working for meaningful change to address longstanding issues in our society, these changes represent a step backward, making it more likely we'll make the same mistakes over again.
