Fire up the Debunk-O-Matic 5000 and get ready to start sending your wingnut co-workers to snopes.com, folks! Fox & Friends and the American Patriarchy Association's Bryan Fischer are among several conservative outlets pitching a selectively edited video that appears to show Illinois school official Amanda August saying that under the Common Core standards, it won't matter whether a student thinks three times four equals eleven or twelve, as long as the student can explain why they came up with their answer.
I'm in awe of the noncommenters who corrected the syntax of the equation Derp x (Argle x Bargle) = Fox News. As a civic duty we must ensure that they never get anywhere near Fox News itself, or we'll be picking bits of brain out of our keyboards for months.
You people are, as usual, totally missing the point. This isn&#039;t a question of accuracy or math or learning; it&#039;s a question of <i>standards.</i> The old ways were best; they were firm and clear and absolute, but nowadays because of <strike>black people in positions of power</strike> liberal relativist atheists there are no more standards.
There&#039;s no more clarity. No more <i>standards.</i> Christmas is illegal, but it&#039;s ok for boys to use the girls&#039; bathroom. Up is down, black is white, right is wrong. If we don&#039;t hold the line, god knows what&#039;ll happen. Next thing you know there&#039;ll be a black guy in the White House and people will be allowed to marry their dogs.
It&#039;s a scary, frightening, dangerous, unpredictable world out there. The only thing protecting us from uncontrollable change is an 18-foot-high, six-inch-thick, 2,000-mile long wall of outrage.
They&#039;re looking in their purses for Canadian whisky.
Base 9!!!!! From outer space.

Bin Laden, of course. Because Benghazi.

My favorite strange English measure 5 quarters = 1 load. Which apparently made sense if you were loading a pack horse. (1 quarter = 28 pounds.)
Perpetual bullshit machine is perpetual.
Steve Doocy explaining quality education is like Kate Moss discussing food.
but just barely
And do you know who else didn&#039;t want to show their work?
Maybe he was resting. And then he burped.
Were you trying to call someone named Argand?
Vector? I didn&#039;t even scalar.
And the Fox viewers won&#039;t watch the MSM or listen to any other views that would prove them wrong.
