At what point do the mentally ill professors have to reach before they're gently guided into the arms of the folks in white coats and escorted to the rubber room?
If they have tenure, then probably never. :grumble

Re: Professor Claims Math, Algebra And Geometry Promote ‘White Privilege’

Let's see, all those black mathematicians at NASA in the 60's (from the movie "Hidden Figures"), I guess they didn't exist. And 'algebra' and 'algorithm' both have arabic origins (from mathematician Al-Khwarizmi); so I guess arabs are white too to this 'professor' who apparently didn't pay much attention to the origins and history of her chosen field.....
