Now MATH is racist: Educators condemn $1M 'Dismantling Racism in Mathematics' program funded by Bill Gates which tells teachers NOT to push students to find the correct answer because it promotes white supremacy
Educators around the US have come out to condemn the 'Dismantling Racism in Mathematics' program
It centers around a workbook which asserts that asking students to find the correct answer for math problems is inherently harmful for minorities
So far, the workbook is being used by school districts in Georgia, Ohio, California and Oregon
Critics say to it actually reinforces negative stereotypes and drives wedges between students according to their race
'The workbook's ultimate message is clear: Black kids are bad at math, so why don't we just excuse them from really learning it,' one critic said
The program was funded through a $1million grant from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
It's part of a larger push nationwide to teach students about critical race theory

So will Bill Gates hire them without a test.   "Math problems is inherently harmful for minorities."  I am sure Bill is not hiring people that can not pass a test.
