WTF: NYC School’s 4th Grade Homework Has Slavery Word Problems

A student teacher at P.S. 59 was horrified when she was told to photocopy and distribute a fourth grade homework assignment with “Slavery Word Problems” where the questions were “On a slave ship, there can be 3,799 slaves. One day, the slaves took over the ship. 1,897 are dead. How many slaves are alive?” and “One slave got whipped five times a day. How many times did he get whipped in a month (31 days)? Another slave got whipped nine times a day. How many times did he get whipped in a month? How many times did the two slaves get whipped together in one month?”
