This section brings together all the analyses classified under this theme.
“Identify and challenge the ways in which mathematics is used to defend capitalist, imperialist, and racist views. Expose students to examples of people who have used mathematics as a means of resistance. Provide learning opportunities that use mathematics as a means of resistance.”…. Shall we continue?
Wouldn't the totalizing project of inclusion aim at a form of closure? We know that the strength of mythical thought lies in particular in its closure: myths are characterized by constant references between all semantic domains that allow thought to be locked in a totalization that is as seductive as it is illusory.
Perhaps tomorrow, our elites will perceive a world where images, texts, and videos will be superimposed on top of reality. Street names would be "corrected" by their virtual helmet to transport them to another world, and the Pokémon GO game, which was content to project fictional creatures onto their environment, will seem very timid in comparison. We could even imagine that above the helmeted heads of other users that we would have the misfortune to meet in our streets, a small icon would appear to indicate the "gender" they would want to be at that moment, with the possibility of inventing new ones, of "customizing" themselves even more. Others will have access to a "diminished", raw reality, which once - but will they remember it? - belonged to everyone.
After imposing the word "Man", now the word "gender" is being imposed to dissolve the word woman in supposedly inclusive appellations. This is the text of a speech made 2 years ago during a conference that we organized on women's struggles against obscurantism.
Focusing on "racialization" and "male domination" is preparing the ideological conditions for a victory of the National Rally. A text signed in particular by Nathalie Heinich, Jacques Julliard and Catherine Kintzler.
The phenomenon known as "woke" or "wokism" is international: initially developed on North American campuses towards the end of the 2010s and having quickly reached the worlds of culture, politics and even business, it has not taken long to cross the Atlantic to invest in many European countries. Its success is largely due to the fact that it defends causes associated, rightly, with progress and justice, but - and this is where it poses a problem - by making them systematic or even unique grids for perceiving the world.

Several studies show that parents perceive girls as less gifted in mathematics, less interested in this discipline, and therefore more compelled to work to succeed. Perhaps more importantly, these perceptions persist even when girls obtain identical or even higher grades than boys! Jussim and Eccles surveyed a hundred mathematics teachers about the competence and effort made in this discipline by each of the students in their 6th grade class (ages 11-12).
[by François Rastier] Intersectional ideology is not limited to campus conflicts or imported cancel culture; it certainly finds support in universities, but also in democratic institutions. In short, half a century after the
