I share in Federico Ardila-Mantilla's axioms:

 

Axiom 1

Mathematical talent is distributed equally among different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.

 

Axiom 2

Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.

 

Axiom 3

Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.

Axiom 4

Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
