I'm pretty sure a company called Saxon was instrumental in developing common core math texts some years ago.

When the choices are "Do you think the Nazis used a white supremacist dogwhistle, or really liked the people who developed common core math", I'm going to err on the side of the dogwhistle.

Nazis don't get the benefit of the doubt.
