IM’s stance on social justice in mathematics education is: “Decades of mathematics achievement data show significant racial disparities that indicate an unjust educational system, which does not give Black and Brown students in classrooms across the United States equal access to mathematics learning. IM is committed to racial justice through ensuring the right of every learner to engage in meaningful, rigorous, grade-level mathematics.”
