A Massachusetts School District Provided a Math Assignment on 'Systematic Racism'

Newton Public Schools in Massachusetts provided ninth-grade students with a math assignment about “systematic racism,” according to documents obtained by Defending Education (DE).
 

DE exclusively shared with Townhall the assignment from May 12, 2025. The assignment was focused on incarceration rates of people who were white, black, and Hispanic. One part of the question tells students: “Explain how you believe systematic racism creates the data displayed by the above timeplot.”

"Newton Schools work hard to ensure that their captive audience of students uncritically adopts their preferred world view — even in math class. What happens if a student doesn't believe in structural racism? Do they fail 9th grade math?" Erika Sanzi, director of outreach for DE, told Townhall.

This isn’t the first time Defending Education sounded the alarm about this school district.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

They're going to sow the CRT seeds of Socialist envy any way they can.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
