Tovarishch Klonsky


Somehow, I missed this story a few days ago. Of course, it won't make a scintilla of a difference -- even if it was Lavrenti Beria himself, Pepe & the gang would just pooh-pooh it. What was the word for this in those Greek tragedies?

Or as Rico Gutstein, a professor of mathematics education at the University of Illinois, Chicago, suggests, a math teacher can run probability simulations using real data to understand the dynamics behind income inequality or racial profiling. These are “examples of lessons where you can really learn the math basics,” he says, “but the purpose of learning the math actually becomes an entree into, and a deeper understanding of, the political ramifications of the issue.”

Boys, this will be in your lesson plan, come January.

This place is waiting for you. Hey, JJ, AA, go for it!

Pitcairn University is so old fashioned. There, the purpose of studying how to teach mathematics is to teach mathematics.

Without gaining a deeper understanding of pinko thought? Is that still possible, even in that godforsaken speck of an island in the middle of nowhere? Nah, Big Brother Pepe is watching.

Big Brother Pepe was watching. But the Pitcairners threw him into a small boat, with some breadfruit, his copy of The Audacity of Hope, and a small cadre of Fellow Travelers. Unfortunatelyfor them, these Citoyens of Planet Pepe were not quite as adept at sailing the vasty sea as Captain Bligh was. Three breadfruits were seen floating by two days later.
Now if we only can get Two Tiny Neurons Pepe to go to Pitcairn to check up on his big brother....
