and this is a real example from a recent graduate that i spoke with the other day and she wrote about it her name's holly she actually wrote that when she was in her one of her courses she's a mathematics major um i think though it was a diversity course they drew the number line and they made everybody fill out this quiz about how much privilege they have and then everybody had to go put their privilege score on the number line with their name in front of the whole class and then the rest of the next class or two was devoted to discussing what it was like to have all that privilege and obviously you can then reframe mathematics a mathematics lesson as a social justice lesson that's explicitly in the book titled a handbook of critical race here in education with this guy daniel solarzano who's a activist in the education field um gives that almost that same example he says when you're teaching the coordinate plane he gives an example from another teacher who had written to him he says when you're teaching the coordinate plane you know x y axis you can have like commitment to social justice on one axis you know awareness of racial inequality or inequity on the other axis and you can plot people like on their political compass score of social justice but that's now your algebra NUMBER_TOKEN x y axis basic functions class so that kind of stuff's happening it's not just in history it's happening in every subject they can find time to put it into um they're very monomaniacal so these these stories that the the teachers unions and the administrators and maybe mcauliffe himself are telling are just not in alignment with what's really going on and it has all of the this sense because this is what it is of having something false inside of a box they've got their nice little you know rhetorical box of how they're describing it but what's going on and this is what i think tim poole called it critical race applied principles and crap which is yeah yeah yeah but it actually the real name for it is already crap it's critical race and there's your r.a critical race praxis which is the putting of a marxian theory into practice let me just ask you what is the difference is it's a critical consciousness basically the same exact thing as class consciousness uh or just a reference to other dimensions of it yeah yeah so yeah so class consciousness was was marx's conception so it's very simple critical consciousness is actually a little bit deeper because marx was not very um into the idea of false consciousness marks and angles maybe mentioned it twice between them or three times between them very rare it wasn't he he thought that the workers were being exploited and could just basically be educated into being aware of that fact uh he did not think as as herbert marcus raised it that the heteronymous interests were brainwashing them into a false consciousness where they weren't even aware of their own servitude for marx looking at you know NUMBER_TOKENth century industrial capitalism the workers were aware of their condition yeah but for the neo-marxists they had to contend with a harder problem which is the capitalism worked especially once the monopoly problems kind of labor movements for whatever other things they were tied up and did some good work and broke down monopoly problems and
