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.

    Dave!

Oh hey, you didn't point out the #1 thing being glued to the governor of
Wyoming, same issue of the Onion, just to the left of the Theory of Math.

(...) But it's true! See the New Math books being used by most business schools these days (Enron Publishing House). Bruce (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
