Drama!!!

So if the picture was of a white man, it wouldn’t be racist?

[icwhatudo]

For every BS charge of racism and insensitivity that comes out, occasionally they get one right. This pic has no business in an Algebra sheet.

I’m about as white as white can be and even I find that offensive...to say nothing about disgusting as well.
(a pic like that would make me lose my lunch.)

out of school until it’s safe ? doesn’t she mean “until everyone feels and thinks the same wat I do” ?

i hope he learns what she intends for him to learn from Steve Wilkos.

I thought pre-Algebra was a 7th grade subject. My 8th grader is in Honors Algebra.

Geez.

That is kinda racist, isn’t it? Sheesh

Curran is an idiot.

One of the kids in the classroom turned around and said, 'Is that your father?' " she said.

Did she tell the boy "No Wai! We don't know who your father be."

For all those offended, I’ll ask again... would this be less offensive if the guy was white? Why? What is the stereotype here? Ignorance? Poor dental hygiene? It’s OK to be ignorant and toothless as long as you’re white or any other race except African American?

Mother says school work sheet is racist

Racist & racism have lost their meaning. Now, ANYTHING one doesn't like is racist.

I hate brussel sprouts....they're racist.

[marvlus]

My question is, what was the intent of the picture to begin with?

[NMEwithin]

They spelled “Way” wrong...

[alicewonders]

I have to agree with the mother on this one - that’s offensive.

The boy's mother said she spent much of the weekend angry and in tears.

oh the agony!!! well i guess it's better to teach the kid to be a wimp than a gangsta.

She plans to keep her son home from school until she feels as though it's safe to send him again.

Great plan, I like it. Maybe she should move to a district friendlier to People of Color (tm), like Washington DC. They probably don't evev teach pre-algebra there so there won't be a problem like this in the future.

"I couldn't understand what I was looking at," said the woman,

It's your lack of diversity.

[Ditter]

It is a terrible picture, I have seen it posted here at FR. Why was a picture of a person of any race on a math paper?

[DemforBush]

I’m gonna back the mother on this one. It was an inappropriate pic to use.
