A California high school is investigating a math teacher after he gave his students Algebra I quizzes that many described as sexist and fat-shaming.Veteran educator Tom Chan was placed on leave, according to a message from Lowell High School Principal Jan Bautista on Monday to parents.'They're finally teaching real world math in schools.'The San Francisco Chronicle documented some of the politically incorrect questions."The amount of money you spend on a date varies inversely to how much they weigh. A typical girl that weighs 120lbs will cost you $55," one problem reads.Students were asked to "derive the variation equation" and then figure out how much to spend on a date "with Ashely who is 220lbs." "The fat kid from last time wouldn't be quiet about the candy I was eating in front of him, so I punted him into the air," another question reads."How tall are you, and how much do you weight?" students were asked.A spokesperson for the San Francisco Unified School District released a brief statement to the Chronicle."We take these concerns seriously and are actively investigating," Laura Dudnick said."It's pretty shocking," one parent said about the quizzes. "The fact that nobody has brought this up to the school and he's been there a really long time."Some online took the opportunity to take their own comedic jabs."They're finally teaching real world math in schools," one comment reads."This precisely the sort of practical question that will get kids to take math seriously," an NRO writer said.RELATED: Pro-Ice student suspended over posters at California high school where hundreds of anti-ICE students walked out "Y'all wanted culturally relevant education," another user responded."Ask a 220 pound girl on a date and she'll pay for everything," online raconteur David Burge replied. "This why I got an 800 on the math section of my Dude Aptitude Test.""I'm more upset that 9th graders are doing simple ass math that Chinese kids do in the 4th grade," another said.Like Blaze News?

The Supreme Court has granted a request from a group of California parents to reinstate a ruling that bans schools from hiding “children’s gender presentation” from them — and forces them to follow the parents' instructions regarding the names and pronouns the children use.BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey counts this as a win.“Parents should absolutely know if their child is going by different pronouns or declaring that they are a boy at school. Right now in California, a student can go to school, say that ‘I want to transition to the opposite sex,’ and the student doesn’t have to notify parents,” she explains.“They can socially transition that child. They can also get that child to a particular professional that will help them get the psychiatric care and the different medical treatments that they are seeking in order to look like the opposite sex,” she says.Stuckey recalls a case out of California concerning Abigail Martinez, who lost custody of her teenage daughter Yaeli because she refused to support her transition.Yaeli was placed in a group home, and a judge ruled that she could begin cross-sex hormones — but Yaeli took her own life.“That’s what happens when you remove kids from the homes of parents who simply want what is best for their kids,” Stuckey says.“You’ve got people framing this as, like, ‘Oh, it’s protection from abuse when the school won’t inform the parents of what’s really going on.’ The opposite is true. No one cares about your child the way that you do. No one knows your child the way that you do. The school does not care if your child lives or dies,” she continues.However, while Stuckey is pleased with the ruling, she points out that it was only ruled unconstitutional because of the parental rights aspect, and there’s a long way to go before all of it is “completely illegal and stigmatized and criminalized.”“You should actually go to prison if you are calling a child by the wrong, non-biological pronoun and encouraging them to change sexes,” Stuckey says.“The Supreme Court is not where they need to be in understanding what is actually driving this gender deception among kids. It’s not genuine gender dysphoria,” she continues.“It is pornography. It is propaganda. It is sexual perversion and even sexual abuse that’s going on. It has very little to do with gender dysphoria. So we’re not yet to the root of all of this in driving this out legally and ideologically, but this absolutely is a win for parents,” she adds.Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani ran on the pledge to provide free universal child care, and now that promise is coming to fruition starting this fall with the K-2 program.Except ... it’s more expensive than private day care, costing approximately $36,500 per child.“That's $13,000 more per child than the private market! Let me repeat that. [The] program designed to make child care less expensive and cheaper is 55% more expensive than the system that already exists,” scoffs Glenn Beck.On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn debunks the socialist promise of “free," predicting that Mamdani's day-care debacle will dissolve in three stages. “You can almost explain every socialist program in three steps,” he says.“Step one, you got to declare something a right. Housing is a right. Health care is a right. Child care is a right ... because once you declare it a right, you never talk about the cost again. You talk about morality.”Anyone who dares question the numbers — like why jump from $23,000 for private child care to $36,000 per child — "instantly becomes a villain," he says.“The second step is they promise you that it'll only cost the rich ... the millionaires — the people who aren't paying their fair share of taxes,” Glenn continues.“Here's the problem. Millionaires, unlike most people, are very mobile, OK? They don't like something? They move.”He brings up the mass exodus of wealthy people in France after the president implemented the wealth tax in 1982 to fund a bunch of "free" programs for lower socioeconomic classes.“When [the rich] leave, what happens? The tax base collapses,” says Glenn.He explains that socialists sell “tax the rich” initiatives by promising voters it will only hit the “top 10%,” but once that top 10% flees, the socioeconomic class right below them slides into the crosshairs and starts shouldering those same punishing taxes.This pattern of exodus and replacement continues, eventually bringing about the final step: “The system becomes unsustainable.”“Here's why it breaks,” says Glenn. “Because the government, Marxism, socialists, they don't respond to signals — the market signals. ... They respond to political incentives, so who cares if it’s $36,000 over [$23,000]?”“When [socialism] doesn't work, they know all they have to do is just find a way to convince you that somebody else is screwing you, and you'll continue to vote for them. That's a lot easier than fixing things,” he continues. “So the costs rise, bureaucracy grows, fraud appears, and suddenly the system costs far more than the private system it replaced.”This is almost certainly the Big Apple’s dark destiny, he argues, because “it started with [step one].”To hear more of Glenn’s analysis, watch the video above.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

President Donald Trump declared Thursday that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem would soon no longer lead the agency.Trump announced that Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) will take over for Noem on March 31, adding that she would be tapped as the special envoy for the Shield of the Americas, a new security initiative in the Western Hemisphere.'In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise, I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security.'Trump's decision followed reports that he had been displeased with Noem's performance for months, rumors the White House rejected in December. Speculation emerged that Noem's removal was a result of her testimony before House and Senate committees earlier this week, during which she claimed the president approved a $220 million DHS ad campaign, a claim the White House denied.Noem reacted to Trump's announcement by expressing her gratitude to the president, adding that she looks forward to collaborating with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in the new role."Thank you @POTUS Trump for appointing me as the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. @SecRubio and @SecWar are incredible leaders and I look forward to working with them closely to dismantle cartels that have poured drugs into our nation and killed our children and grandchildren," Noem wrote."The Western Hemisphere is absolutely critical for U.S. security. In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise, I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security," she continued. "We have made historic accomplishments at the Department of Homeland Security to make America safe again: we delivered the MOST secure border in American history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., we have located 145,000 children, FEMA delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate, we ushered in the golden age of travel, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion and revitalized the U.S. Coast Guard."RELATED: Noem is OUT — and Trump has named her replacement Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty ImagesSome politicians expressed gratitude for Noem's time at the DHS, while others celebrated her departure."I appreciate Secretary Noem's service to our country. She will do a great job dealing with the drug cartels in her new role as Special Envoy for The Shield of Americas, and I know she will continue to contribute in the future. However, I think it was time for a change," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) stated.Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) wrote, "President Trump was elected to secure our border, crack down on sanctuary cities and keep our country safe. I appreciate @Sec_Noem's dedication to that mission. Thanks to the president's leadership and her help, incredible progress has been made, and I know she will do a fantastic job as Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas."Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) released a video reacting to the DHS leadership shake-up, saying, "Hey, Kristi Noem, don't let the door hit you on the way out."RELATED: Government-paid traffickers?
