When censors from a Department of Education in a state rejected submitted math textbooks from major publishers because their “woke” authors had allegedly tried to indoctrinate children with critical race theory, foreign problem-solving strategies, and multicultural math topics, when in actual fact these math titles contain real-life problems that would help hone students’ problem-solving skills, compared to artificially canned questions of traditional publishers with whom they have a vested interest in—when politics and profits triumph over pedagogy and proficiency.
Last week, with the blessing of their state governor, diehard math educators in Florida carried out a mathematical insurrection against a number of educational publishers for subtly including Common Core pedagogies on top of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) elements in their textbooks.

Guesstimate how many mature students worldwide are reluctant to sign up for short math or statistics courses to upgrade themselves, because they are masked by pi.

The moment I realize that ASAP needn’t always stand for “As Soon As Possible,” I quickly submitted this long-overdue definition for publication.

When the number π is being blessed today as a symbol of global recognition that few remember that she was once addicted to geometry, particularly chained to the circle (until she gained her freedom thanks to her contributions to other branches of mathematics), and suffered centuries-long depression as mathematicians vied to assign her the best approximate value based on their methods of computation.
From her early humble days in Greece in the hands of Archimedes, when they’re trying to determine a good approximation for her, the number π has hitherto remained a constant of choice among the mathematical brethren, who hope that the discovery of pi plus secrets would help advance their career and achieve mathematical fame or immortality.

Countless sites boldly advertise their “Pi Your Bitcoin” schemes, by putting the word “legit” to make people believe it’s not a scam.

The banned Book of Pi, chapter 3, verse 14, where the prophet wrote: “I have seen and experienced all beautiful, irrational, imaginary, metamathematical, transcendental, and sacred things about the number π under the sun; all of them are man-made and meaningless, a chasing after the next mathematical shiny object.”
Does Pi 3:14 sound like a mathematical equivalent of Ecclesiastes 1:14, where King Solomon with all his wisdom and wealth concluded that all is vanity?

Without Christ in the equation, it’s just an expression; a false prophet or guru would offer a faux or extraneous solution with quasi-zero suspicion from the flock they’re leading or deceiving—this is why people need to learn about the spiritual truths in the “Jesus v. Deities” eternal war.
