Ridiculous. These are objective questions on the reading. If the
reading is assigned, why would anything in it be excluded as
subject matter for a test?

I taught high school English for 20 years, all classics, and all
contain subject matter that must be handled with care.

But on the subject of Angelou: like I said, I taught classics.

OK, fine, whatever. This was not an English Lit test; it was "Math" supposedly. These questions were a thinly veiled pretext to normalize deviancy. We are faced with an education system intent on undermining decency at every level and by any means.

>> on the subject of Angelou ...

She was snotty, arrogant, rude, and had minimal talent for the position she achieved. She is not missed by her peers and associates.

The questions were on a math test.
