There are groups of people in this country in control of our most fundamental institutions with values that are irreconcilable with mine. I don't even know how to form a sensible argument with the idea that objectivity is not a desirable goal, that for a student to excel at mathematics is socially damaging, doing net harm by psychic trauma to the other students, that right and wrong answers to equations are subjective. We're not operating from the same set of values, and I don't understand theirs well enough to steel-man them.
I can't imagine a compromise that I could reach with a teacher who believes the above that would make it less than parental malpractice to put my child in their classroom.
