NB: Lance Ray Christensen is also opposed to the California Math Framework which would make California math education totally suck. See, for example, this post and links for why it sucks: https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=6146. One part of the Framework you might like is the assertion that people are better at math when neurons in different regions of the brain are more connected, so the math curriculum should draw connections to other subjects. Tony Thurmond does not seem troubled by any of this, and has been in charge while the Framework was being developed. So I consider this an additional reason to support Christensen.
