When digital pirates from notorious copyright-violating countries like India, Pakistan, and Nigeria are blatantly sharing Singapore math e-books, students’ and teachers’ resources, and textbook solutions; or are selling them at a fraction of their actual prices.
To tens of thousands of students and teachers in the developing world, the Napsterization of Singapore math looks more like the democratization rather than the illegal dissemination of Singapore math materials to help raise their quantitative literacy at zero costs or for the price of a few megabytes.

Get the Gay Moment in Mathematics mug.Being brainwashed or radicalized by ex-president Donald J. Trump, who has continued to spew out election lies and to promote conspiracies or pseudoscientific theories, which sound music to the itchy ears of ultra-MAGA patriots.
Guesstimate how many magatrinated folks would vote for their “political savior” in 2024 or 2028, assuming that he has not been put behind bars by then, or has since been pardoned by a morally corrupt president for his manifold crimes.

Get the Truth or Trump mug.When the individual right to liberty and freedom as part of human rights gives people the choice to decide whether or not to wear a face mask, especially if the authorities have made mask wearing mandatory for everyone in public places—in practice, they could be fined or jailed (or even caned in some extreme cases) for refusing to don a mask.
In a number of red states, millions of hardcore Trumpublicans have used personal, religious, or political freedom as their weapon of mask destruction—they’re not going to bow down to “mask oppression” even if a jail imprisonment awaits them for their repeated social disobedience.
