The Teachers will of course get off scot free. One quick apology later and no investigation or review of what happened and the school can get back to the important business of not getting caught while they do it again.

I'm leaning this way as well.

Even in the pic from the article you can see it wasn't every question, they were mixed in, and it's not something hand written or typed up and photocopied that the teacher created, it's obviously some kind of work book or work sheet.

The way we squeeze our budget and ignore our trade deficit it's probably from some other country and written by people who only know the basic outline of American history and don't recognize the meaning of the word slave vs worker or farm hand.

You shouldn't assume that slaves are automatically black people. "Oh a slave, they must be black person, I am outraged, I don't think they're subhuman beasts of burden."

A slave can be any human being and I resent your inferred racism.

When society crumbles, children will need to know how to count slaves because I know that my tribe, for one, will have slaves of plenty. Most all of the people reading this thread will most likely be made slave due to their apparent naivety in fact.

The slaves being 'black' is not mentioned in the article or the original post.

You are criticizing others for an assumed assumption.

That's dumb as ****, there's no valid reasoning or explanation that makes it "ok".

And people wonder why I get so pissed off about the education system.

Those parents should be glad, the one who made up this test was not jewish, instead black. So questions there would be about not oranges and cotton, but zyclon-b cans and ovens Smile

To be, or not to be, that's the question.

I might agree, BUT...

"Roach said the teachers were attempting to incorporate social studies into math problems."

which leads me to believe that the teachers did purposely put that in, and was created by the teachers.

Ha ha, no worries, its just our government preparing young minds for their upcoming lives of slavery to pay off our country's enormous debt.

On a positive note, they were trying to cross-pollinate social studies/history with math. A for effort, F for execution.

Just a guess. Some ethnic groups can't forget the past , and keeps pointing out to whites, how they suffered 70-300 years ago, and how guilty they are, despite all benefits now they get.

To be, or not to be, that's the question.

Yeah, positively moronic. No wonder American schoolkids are so pathetic in math and science these days.

Why do you equate black to Arifcan Amerikan?

Why assume all blacks are from Africa and live in Amerika?
