> Georgia School Board Bans 'Theory Of Math'
> COGDELL, GA—The Cogdell School Board banned the teaching of the
> controversial "Theory Of Math" in its schools Monday. "We are simply not
> confident of this mysterious process by which numbers turn, as if by magic,
> into other numbers," board member Gus Reese said. "Those mathematicians are
> free to believe 3 times 4 equals 12, but that dun [sic] give them the right
> to force it on our children." Under the new ruling, all math textbooks will
> carry a disclaimer noting that math is only one of many valid theories of
> number-manipulation.
