Fox News host Eric Bolling on Wednesday accused some schools of “pushing the liberal agenda” for teaching an algebra lesson about the distributive property.
Now by a show of hands, how many of you took algebra in junior high/high school and remember this lesson:
[The following taken from http://math.about.com/od/algebra/a/distributive.htm]
Named the 'Distributive Property (sometimes referred to as the distributive law) because in essence, you are distributing something as you separate or break it into parts. The distributive property makes numbers easier to work with. In algebra when we use the distributive property, we're expanding (distributing).
The Distributive Property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.
Let's say I have to quickly multiply: 4 x 53
(4 x 50) + (4 x 3)
200 + 12
212
"This isn't that easy," or so says Kimberly Guilfoyle. Im' now trying to determine exactly what they think calculus might be,,,and what about irrational numbers or radicals. An please tell my exactly what do cowboys (or our gov't ) have to do with Thanksgiving again,,,I missed that lesson. I didn't even have to read past the headline before I started to laugh (then cry).
And seriously isn't algebra part of the Islamic agenda since it was invented by the Muslim mathematician Al-Khwarizmi in the book he wrote in 820?? (Yes I am joking,,,)
