DEI math-ed prof who helped get algebra banned in ‘Frisco is accused of faulty research
NY Post
Stanford math-ed prof Jo Boaler’s DEI racket may finally be coming to an end: On Wednesday, a 100-page complaint was filed against her, citing 52 instances of misrepresentation in her research citations.
Boaler, who hauls in a stunning $5,000 an hour for Zoom consultations, was a key figure in getting eighth-grade algebra banned from San Francisco’s public schools in 2014.
She’s an ideological propagandist rather than a research scholar, with her Stanford webpage declaring in its first sentence her focus on “how equity is promoted in mathematics classroom; her “research” gave diversity, equity and inclusion hucksters on the city school board the “research-based,” “research-informed” cover they needed to push the ban through.
Indeed, she’s one of the biggest influencers of math education, widely followed and quoted by DEI warriors: When they say “research shows,” they refer to her and her ilk.
Yet the complaint slams her for “reckless disregard for accuracy.”
Charges of research fraud are lodged against other DEI hucksters — ousted Harvard President Claudine Gay, Harvard DEI Chief Officer Sherri Ann Carlson, University of Wisconsin-Madison DEI Chief Officer LaVar Charleston, Columbia University Medical Center DEI Chief Officer Alade McKen — who’ve all been accused primarily of plagiarism.
