Mathematics is possibly the profession which deals with abstract truths and discovery independent of cultural factors. Our current mathematical knowledge has its origins in Arabia, Greece, China, India among other civilizations. Yet, in response to the Trump Administrations discussed above, the Mathematical Association of America's Committee on Minority Participation in Mathematics issuede a statement on October 2, 2020:{{quotebox|Critical race theory, referenced in recent Executive statements by the President of the United States, is an established social science inquiry which is grounded in decades of scholarship. It is misguided, at best, to reduce this theory to the race-blaming of white people and to define it and the discussion of systemic racism as a “divisive concept.” Furthermore, banning training utilizing this scholarship to raise consciousness, from federal and federal contractor workplaces, is an encroachment on science and the academy.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mathvalues.org/masterblog/anti-science-policy-censure-of-discourse-on-race-and-racism|title=ANTI-SCIENCE POLICY AND THE CENSURE OF DISCOURSE ON RACE AND RACISM|date=October 2, 2020|accessdate=Oct. 6, 2020}}</ref>}} Of course, this criticism is inapt because the Executive statements specifically allow for teaching of CRT objectively, and prohibit in race-blaming of any group, whites, blacks or other people of color or misusing stereotypes.
