The "Math Agenda" boils down to the idea that every subject is supposedly being used to push the LGBT agenda.

This is what they are freaking out about:

    Sounds fun. I do wonder what math they'll go into. As a queer person who nebulously loves math, I can see how normal conversations could be hijacked and turned into a math discussion.

    Maybe that's what this will be: a program designed to pull queer teenagers together into a safe space where they can explore different areas of math guided by math pedagogy professionals. This might mean not always going the algebra-geometry-calculus direction, but rather maybe some fun probability stuff, graph theory, the traveling salesperson problem, the Towers of Hanoi, things in discrete math that could be fun to talk about.

    I can’t believe you’re just peddling this sick filth in public! Just openly embracing pedagogy and excusing the “math-attracted persons” movement! What is our country coming to?!?!!!!???!!

    The truly terrifying thing is that ANY teacher could be a pedagogue!

    The amount of times I've needed to explain that pederast and pedagogue are not the same isn't 0, but it is less than 3
