Parents Upset over Slavery Questions

on Math Word Problem worksheet.

Questions included these:

“Each tree had 56 oranges. If 8 slaves pick them equally, then how much would each slave pick?” and “If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in 1 week?”

Who thought this was a good idea?

How long has that test been around? It would have been far more contemporary with illegal immigrants

I love the part on the principal will "work with teachers" on this. The teacher should be fired for being so stupid to let this get to the students. People this dumb should not be teaching anyone.

I didn't really think this thread was serious. I kind of expected to get Rick Rolled when I hit that link. Wow.
