Professor warns California's equity-based math curriculum will be a 'complete failure'
Stanford's Brian Conrad warns the 'equity'-based math curriculum will lead to 'dead ends' for students

A Stanford math professor issued a stark warning Thursday on California's new math curriculum, arguing the push for "equity" could backfire academically as students continue to reel from post-pandemic learning loss. 

Brian Conrad, who read the entire 1,000-page teaching framework, joined "FOX & Friends" to discuss why the effort to include conventional math curriculum is critical in preparing kids for careers and college later in life.

On Thursday, the DeSantis War Room posted  video that began with highlighting the headlines and commentary that have come since Tuesday's ouster, including how "the Republican Party today just can't govern" and "has become the party that lacks discipline."

Included in the video is a warning from DeSantis himself, who warned while speaking to Fox News' Neil Cavuto that he's seen "a lack of leadership" as well as "a lot of political theater and performative stuff where people are fundraising or whatnot," in response to some of the eight Republican members having done just that.

The video also includes footage from DeSantis' performance during last week's second RNC debate in which he declared "I watch these guys in Washington D.C., and they don’t care about the American people. They don’t care about the fentanyl deaths. They don’t care about the communities being overrun because of this border. They don’t care about the Mexican drug cartels."
