What would be an acceptable "conservative" way to teach the distributive property? I saw nothing wrong with the example used. I did see that no one in that Fox "News" panel understood the distributive property! math.about.com Distributing money is a perfect way to teach this, and relate the numbers to real world things (money) for kids. No socialism involved - except for paranoids!

Another example of the liberal media gone wild, Bentway.

What "liberal media" are you talking about? I don't think I've ever even heard of "Business Insider." Digging a little deeper, I found that its founder is Henry Blodget, who really has no ideological anchor at all. He's a former Wall Street-grifter doing sensationalism on a blog to make a buck.

>Which is the silliest portrayal of the distributive property I've seen in a math textbook.

How many math textbooks exactly have you read about the distributive property in? One? Two?

This smells like another War On Christmas-type faux outrage.
