Race, Retrenchment, and the Reform of School Mathematics.
Tate, William F.
Phi Delta Kappan, v75 n6 p477-80,482-84 Feb 1994

Situations (such as computer-modeling decisions) are often "mathematicized" to stifle those unable to construct their own mathematically based arguments. African-American students need more opportunity to link mathematics to their everyday lives. (Contains 39 references.) (MLH)
