Quote:
Parents of students at Beaver Ridge Elementary School in Norcross, Ga., are outraged at the school district's response to the reports of using examples of slavery in math word problems, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The word problems in questions include references to slavery and "beatings," according to the paper.
"Each tree had 56 oranges. If 8 slaves pick them equally, then how much would each slave pick?" and
"If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in 1 week?"
.

District spokesperson Sloan Roach told the station the teachers were trying to incorporate social studies lessons in math problems for a "cross-curricular activity."

Apparently, their text books are as old as your news feed.

The South lost. The South even has historians now who are trying and failing to rewrite history

Is this advice similar to the one we should give the Democrats in Congress about the historic 2010 elections?
