New Math: Say Hello to Sexual Assault and Sex Work Algebra …
Remember those goofy essay questions in math. Johnny had 34 apples on a train traveling at this speed in that direction. They still have those, but New Math has put a Critical Race/sex-gender spin on it.

Palate Cleanser – and if you want to keep the Riff-Raff off the Internet, this would work!
Not exactly what the Southern Democrats demanded of Blacks back during Jim Crow in order to vote….well, for all those Social Justice Warriors out there that depend on “feelz” than actual “book learnin'” (as Granny Clampett used to say), it might be even harder.
