The "Math Agenda" boils down to the idea that every subject is supposedly being used to push the LGBT agenda.
This is what they are freaking out about:

And this is them freaking out about it:

Sounds fun. I do wonder what math they'll go into. As a queer person who nebulously loves math, I can see how normal conversations could be hijacked and turned into a math discussion.
Maybe that's what this will be: a program designed to pull queer teenagers together into a safe space where they can explore different areas of math guided by math pedagogy professionals. This might mean not always going the algebra-geometry-calculus direction, but rather maybe some fun probability stuff, graph theory, the traveling salesperson problem, the Towers of Hanoi, things in discrete math that could be fun to talk about.
I can’t believe you’re just peddling this sick filth in public! Just openly embracing pedagogy and excusing the “math-attracted persons” movement! What is our country coming to?!?!!!!???!!
The truly terrifying thing is that ANY teacher could be a pedagogue!
In my humble opinion, all of them should be!
If people like you had their way the world would be full of intellectual types
The amount of times I've needed to explain that pederast and pedagogue are not the same isn't 0, but it is less than 3
These people have never been smart. 22 years ago a mob of them attacked a pediatrician's home because they didn't know "pediatrician" and "paedophile" meant different things.

I don't know about the country, but I'm cumming to math ;)
