LENOIR, N.C. — Several members of a North Carolina community are upset after high school students were given a controversial quiz.

WSOC-TV reported that it happened to students in an AP psychology class at West Caldwell High School in Lenoir.

They were told it was an intelligence test, according to WSOC-TV. The school district said it was a classroom assignment, describing it as a mock test to give students exposure to cultural bias.

After the quiz was given, school officials said there was discussion about bias and misconceptions in different cultures and the use of slang.

After the district was made aware of the assignment, the teacher was told not to use the “Chitling Test” again. School officials said an internal investigation is underway.

The superintendent of West Caldwell High School said the test has no place in the classroom.

He reportedly met with local African-American clergy, members of the NAACP and the police chief Thursday morning to discuss the test. Afterwards, they held hands and prayed.

I think the only one I’ve got correct is #8, only because of slang that went around in the 70’s.

Hattie Mae Johnson is on the County. She has four children and her husband is now in jail for non-support, as he was unemployed and was not able to give her any money. Her welfare check is now $286 per month. Last night she went out with the highest player in town. If she got pregnant, then nine months from now how much more will her welfare check be?

(a) $80, (b) $2, (c) $35, (d) $150, (e) $100.

Wow. Considering that the kids are doing >so well in school<, apparently they have a lot of free time to give these kinds of tests. /sarc

Test was given in an AP psych class at Lenoir high school.

In other news, Lenior was listed as the 5th most miserable place to live in the US a while back.

Whoa. Hard to believe the teacher didn’t stop to think that someone would complain over this!

I knew 5, 8, 12 and 13. The other questions...no idea!

PS, I have eaten chitlins once in my life. ONCE.

I think I would fail this Chitling Test.

Do you boil or fry chitlings? I do not know.

But as for question #6, I think the answer is.. “slap dat ho”. Any time a pimp is up tight with a woman, then “slap dat ho” is the ONLY answer.

“The school district said it was a classroom assignment, describing it as a mock test to give students exposure to cultural bias.

Question #1 from the “The Cracker Test”:

What does your father do after a hard day at work:

1) Take you to your baseball game
2) Mow the yard
3) Relax and drink a beer
4) All of the above

As a former Marine, I do know that “2a.) splib” is not out of place on that list.
