A wiser teacher who simply HAD to drive this lesson home would simply use a test from a more distant culture, and not one that is so, ahem, "sensitive" (read: programmed to take offense at ANY and ALL times)... maybe from India or Iceland or New Zealand.

1. The ratio of width of the National flag of India to its length is A. 3:5 B. 2:3 C. 2:4 D. 3:4

2. Rabindranath Tagore's 'Jana Gana Mana' has been adopted as India's National Anthem. How many stanzas of the said song were adopted?
A. Only the first stanza
B. The whole song
C. Third and Fourth stanza
D. First and Second stanza

3. 'Natya - Shastra' the main source of India's classical dances was written by
A. Nara Muni
B. Bharat Muni
C. Abhinav Gupt
D. Tandu Muni

4. 'Dandia' is a popular dance of
A. Punjab
B. Gujarat
C. Tamil Nadu
D. Maharashtra

5. The words 'Satyameva Jayate' inscribed below the base plate of the emblem of India are taken from
A. Rigveda
B. Satpath Brahmana
C. Mundak Upanishad
D. Ramayana

Same effect: a bunch of very smart kids can feel very dumb when asked to show skills and knowledge in a culture they are unfamiliar with. No need for getting Jesse and Al's panties in a bunch.

If I read it right then the superintendent met with a group of people and then prayed. Why is everyone protesting the test and not the prayer. After all, liberal groups always claim a separation of church and state.
