GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. – Some Gwinnett County parents are furious over a third-grade math assignment that contained multiple references to slavery.
Once question asked, “Each tree had 56 oranges. If eight slaves pick them equally, then how much would each slave pick?” Another question asked, “If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in one week? Two weeks?” A third question in the assignment asked how many baskets of cotton Frederick filled.
Is this inappropriate or just plain racist? If your child came home on this how would you react? Play the video below to see the full story.
