Weapons of Math Instruction

Read this awesome insert, and Kudos to the individual who wrote this short essay.




Weapons of Math Instruction

          A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator.  At  a morning press conference, Attorney General Eric Holder said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. 
          He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. 'Al-Gebra is a problem for us', the Attorney General said.  'They derive solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values'
           They use secret code names like "X" and "Y" and refer to themselves as "unknowns" but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.  As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."
            When asked to comment on the arrest, The Chief of Police said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes."
