I don't see what the big deal is - these seem like fairly common questions in philosophy and educational theory. It appears to be part of a framework for an ethnography class (not maths) so it's clearly not going to replace geometry or algebra in the maths curriculum. The engineers of tomorrow won't be skipping mechanics in order to learn how to verify truth. Even if they did, the number of famous mathematicians who were also philosophers is huge.
Nothing to see here, nothing to froth over - unless you get a kick out of knee-jerk anti-intellectualism, that is.
At the end of the day I trust educators more than a cryptocurrency guy on Twitter who advocates homeschooling startups(!!!) as a solution.
