The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that close to 56 percent of Americans don’t want Arabic numerals, the standard numbers in Western alphabets, to be taught in schools, according to a poll conducted by Pittsburgh-based market research firm Civic Science.
According to the study, which included more than 3,200 Americans, more than half of the respondents said standard number notation should not be taught in school. An additional 29 percent said they should be part of the curriculum, while 16 percent offered no opinion.
According to CivicScience CEO John Dick, the poll suggests a latent bias -- unconscious attitudes or stereotypes -- among respondents.
“Ladies and Gentlemen: The saddest and funniest testament to American bigotry we've ever seen in our data,” the executive said on Twitter with regard to the poll.
South Dakota media outlet Brookings Register conducted a similar study this week. Close to 57 percent of that poll’s 4000 respondents said they would not want the numerals to be taught, while 29 percent said they would.

It seems that the military industrial complex, the corporatocracy and the Fascist Israel lobby are itching to rob more of your tax dollars, they are using their traitor clowns to milk America for even more. The $trillions that the greedy traitors scammed from you with their "war on terror" scam are not enough, they now want to fight pirates in outer space. They got away with so much theft, treason and mass murder, they think that Americans are useful idiots!
"A Congressional Budget Office review of the plan found that adding a Space Force military branch to the existing lineup of American defence forces would require an additional 5,400 to 7,,800 personnel, and would add $1bn to the Pentagon’s yearly costs"
