Tomorrow (July 12), the California State Board of Education will hold a final hearing in Sacramento, when the board members will vote on adopting the 2023 Mathematics Framework for California public schools K-12 (Item 11). I urge you to take action and make a public comment in person or by phone to voice your concerns

The revised framework is firmly grounded in the equity ideology while purports to dumb down academic standards in the meantime. As Williamson Evers, CFER Advisor and Senior Fellow and Director of the Center on Educational Excellence at the Independent Institute, points out, there are six major flaws in the current draft. Dr. Evers concludes:

"This current California counterproductive math instructional framework will produce a repeat of the Math Wars of the 1990s or a deeper rebellion against public schools and in favor of parental choice."
