"Wokeism” describes a rigid, ideology-driven worldview rooted in radical social justice and intersectionality, where individuals are categorized strictly by their race, gender, and privilege. It enforces conformity through cancel culture, labels dissenting views as oppressive, and prioritizes perceived equity over merit or truth. It is marked by a focus on systemic grievances and a zero-tolerance approach to opposing perspectives, often leading to societal division.

Get the Wokeism mug.When ultra-MAGA Trumpublicans or white Christian nationalists are hell-bent to censor any math educator or publisher who dares to expose the whitewashing of math or math education throughout history, because allowing them to right any past mathematical wrongs or injustices committed by colonialists or imperialists would lay bare their selfish attempts to brainwash millions of children that the evolution of mathematical ideas is a white people’s contribution.
White supremacist or extremist math educators label mathematicians and math educators, who question the distorted or fake view of the history of mathematics, or who lecture about mathematical wokeism, as “mathematically toxic”—they’d be deprived of education funding for discussing that math is racist, or for condemning centuries-long white male privilege in academia.

Person 1: ‘Hey, isn’t it cool that Viola Davis has been cast as Florence Nightingale?’
Person 2: ‘I guess... but wouldn’t it be even cooler if she was cast as Mary Seacole? So we could have a film about a woman who really was black, instead of rehashing the same white narratives but shoehorning POCs in for the sake of progressivism, whilst paradoxically denying them the chance to tell their own stories and depict their own histories? Idk... just feels like Wokenism to me.’
