Oh, this is
nothing. Heard a story from a math prof at a major university. He was teaching a course that's required for certain non-math, non-science majors (read: math for people who hate math). Everyone bombed the exam. Day after the exam, student raised his hand and gave this speech: he thinks the test was biased and discriminatory. Why? Cuz the test tests their math skills, and the people who take this class are people who aren't good at math. Testing them on their math abilities therefore discriminates against them. Class applauds.
College.
Doesn't surprise me. I think I am becoming cynical, indeed.
LOL! Here's a web poll from the Palm Beach Post...this should get a chuckle:
