I can "understand" what they dislike about everything here except for ... math? Like, what? What could anyone possibly have against math?

"We ~~have~~ has met the ~~enemy~~ 'n 'm 'ee and they ~~are~~ is us."

FTFY

He learned they were teaching Arabic numerals and now he's afraid of al gebra.

It is of acute importance to stay vigilant of mathematicians; we cannot go on tangents and let their plots divide us. I'm sure they're integrating themselves into positions of power, and knowing even a fraction of their schemes could be of prime significance to factoring out their plans to subtract our freedoms.

I've got a math degree, can definitely say I felt like a victim at times

“ DeSantis said state officials “got rid” of Common Core, a standardized teaching method rolled out in 2010. The method requires children to group numbers to solve arithmetic problems, rather than the vertical “carry the one” method familiar to most adults. The approach goes beyond simple computation to emphasize deeper mathematical concepts. The department said some of the rejected textbooks incorporated Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and references to critical race theory – two frameworks or philosophies that some conservative groups claim are being used to indoctrinate students. Some schools around the country have recently used SEL strategies to help students cope with stress and the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning defines SEL as a teaching framework aimed at helping “young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.” More than a dozen states have set standards for teaching SEL in grade schools, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. But as more states consider SEL strategies, conservative groups have claimed critical race theory is embedded into the framework.”

They are already part of the "base" that Squinty McProudBoy is building.

Sometimes it is so dumb it works. The previous convoy was also a "pick your own cause" mess, and I think this helped the movement gather support because a large group of people thought it was for a bunch of good causes like worker rights. In reality it was a loon anti-vax, anti-liberal movement and the organizers wanted the government to resign and give them political positions. not kidding.

AKA projection. These types of people tend to have that in common.

yep, people fighting inner demons tend to project their own deviations onto everyone else, and be loud about it. e.g. "I had to force myself not to be gay, hence it is a choice and everyone has those urges. ". Hence also why they think children can be so easily "corrupted".
