Third graders in in Gwinnett County, Ga., were given math homework Wednesday that asked questions about slavery and beatings.
Christopher Braxton told ABC News affiliate WSB-TV in Atlanta that he couldn't believe the assignment his 8-year-old son brought home from of Beaver Ridge Elementary school in Norcross.
"It kind of blew me away," Braxton said. "Do you see what I see? Do you really see what I see? He's not answering this question."
The question read, "Each tree had 56 oranges. If eight slaves pick them equally, then how much would each slave pick?"
Another math problem read, "If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in one week?"
Another question asked how many baskets of cotton Frederick filled.
"I was furious at that point," Braxton said.

work = word, sorry.
And isn't it great they will have learned to do the math for how many slaves will be needed. Some of them will be our managers and some of their friends will be slaves.
I think we're both speaking the same result and just wording it a bit differently.
Another math problem read, “If Frederick beat his woman two times per day, how many beatings did the ho get in one week?”
Bingo. Cultures are not changed at the ballot box. We are well past the point of no return. That is what open borders and public indoctrination, er, education, will get you. Like Yuri Bezmanov said, there is no place left to go to rebuild freedom.
If people who work pay more than half their income in taxes, and people who don’t work get all the money that’s taxed, who has more money to spend on beer, cigarettes and lottery tickets?
If a Muslim man has four wives, each one of which bears three children, and one of his daughters dates a Christianity, how many people does this Muslim man have to kill?
If Ali and Abdul sold 200 slaves at $125 drachma each, how much did they split between them if each received half? There, that’s a better perspective?
If a man who is married to another man sexually abuses a boy in the locker room and is divorced by his spouse, how much money should he have to pay in spousal support?
Final exam question: How far backwards will Jwan travel after Bill & Dave empty their clips into his torso?
Extra credit if you can identify the entity that provided Jwan his education.
Let’s say you wanted to contextualize math problems, so as to make them more meaningful. And, what you wanted to do was incorporate the history of slavery in America for this purpose. This could actually be done in a way that is objective. This wouldn’t fit the agenda of race hatred. In fact, it would pro-American.
Some objective facts of slavery (and its aftermath) would include:
1. The fact that slavery pre-dated the forming of the United States.
2. The fact that the U.S. was one of the first countries of the world to ban the slave trade. (The ban is in the U.S. Constitution.)
3. The difference between slavery in the border states versus slavery in the deep south.
4. The hardening of opinions on slavery in the country, in conjunction with the use of the tariff by the north.
5. The growth of the north in terms of population and wealth, relative to the south.
6. The number of people who died in our Civil War relative to the number of people who were freed from slavery.
7. The progress of Americans of African heritage since emancipation.
8. A comparison of incomes of Americans by race (insofar as race can still be identified), showing Asian Americans to be at the top.
9. A comparison of the trend of income of people in the top 20 percent, in the middle 60 percent, and in the bottom 20 percent.
10. The correlation of stable families, working and education with being in the top 20 percent as opposed to being in the bottom 20 percent.
Slaves were EXPENSIVE. If all the big bad owners beat their slaves 24/7 like these lib whinies would have us believe, there would be no bales toted nor barges lifted and the plantations would have gone broke the first year.
The New Age slave will be enslaved by Islam when that religion finalizes its rule over this country. Muslims have a long history as slave traders. Muslims are still slave traders. Public education is readying our children for their future servitude?
Let’s not forget that Obama is a muslim.
This is why they created unions. To replace the slave trade.
Isn't that a contradiction in terms?
I mean, topologically speaking?
Add that Africans sold other Africans as slaves.
Compare the standard of living to American blacks who’s ancestors were brought here as slaves to what their lives would be like if they never came to the US.
Never mind that blacks also owned slaves in the US.
FWIW and IMHO, the trick to an efficient search is to pick one significant word from the title and then search by posting time. For example, using “Fred” from this article’s title: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/search?s=fred&ok=Search&q=quick&m=any&o=time
Well, okay, maybe your point is "technically" correct, but seems lacking in simple common sense.
Can you think of any other group of people besides blacks who were ever kept as slaves in Gwinnett Co., Georgia?
Can you think of any other in the United States...LOL? Don't you see you are falling for it. The math questions subliminally teach them how to manage SLAVES, not employees.
The agenda is bigger than the race card we're just several generations removed and we have not yet realized it. Adults we're playing catch-up to what they are really indoctrinating our kids with.
No need to apologize, just another a-hole appointing himself as a posting policeman. Most of us have a life and don't spend the day looking for duplicate posts. I missed this one and was glad you posted it.
