If this shit is real, then it is the most disgusting kafkatrapping, shaming and biased piece of misandry in learning I have ever seen.

Is this test about Maya Angelou?

Bullshit.

Source for this? I'm calling bs. There wouldn't be questions talking about pimps and prostitutes and drug dealers just casually thrown into math tests to schoolkids. Not to mention sexually abusing minors. Come on.

Even the level of math looks wrong for the claim. I don't think they teach simultaneous algebraic equations to 8th graders.

Jesus Christ... what the fuck does that have to do with Math?

no, just no. even if other parents didnt care about the gender issue a math problem with a sexual assult in it would have made big news.

this seems like a trap to get a bunch of "angry MRAs" type responses.

This appears to be about Maya Angelou, but the story is far from complete. From Wikipedia:

Four years later, the children's father "came to Stamps without warning"[12] and returned them to their mother's care in St. Louis. At the age of eight, while living with her mother, Angelou was sexually abused and raped by her mother's boyfriend, a man named Freeman. She told her brother, who told the rest of their family. Freeman was found guilty but was jailed for only one day. Four days after his release, he was murdered, probably by Angelou's uncles.[13] Angelou became mute for almost five years,[14] believing, as she stated, "I thought, my voice killed him; I killed that man, because I told his name. And then I thought I would never speak again, because my voice would kill anyone..."[15] According to Marcia Ann Gillespie and her colleagues, who wrote a biography about Angelou, it was during this period of silence when Angelou developed her extraordinary memory, her love for books and literature, and her ability to listen and observe the world around her.

A good question would be whether she did actually kill the man by lying about him. Or, in fact, whether any of this is true.

ok, i actually have more issue with the fact that there are word based questions in what is supposed to be a math exam... That completely defeats the point of the homework.

Majahight · 2018-02-04T20:41:09+00:00

Considering that public schools won't even let you wear an offensive hat, I'm calling bullshit on this.
