    But you didn’t “Fix” the equation, because it wasn’t “broken.” You just rearranged it so that it made more sense to you, yourself, personally. It already made sense to other people who’ve learned the proper order of operations. Your metaphor fails here because unlike the signs you posted above, this equation is perfectly understandable in either form.

    I’m sorry my friend, math is not “mean.” You cannot use math to oppress people.
