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

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.)

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

the woman, whose identity the newspaper has agreed not to discloseher son, the only black student in his eighth-grade pre-algebra class at Lenape Middle School,
Looks like they didn't value her anonymity too much, eh!

Why would an image like that be on an Algebra sheet???? Highly insensitive and racist.

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?

She should have pointed out that the image is in poor taste and has nothing to do with algebra.
“Spending the weekend in tears” and pulling the child from school “until he is safe” is BS drama. Pullin the NAACP into it is ridiculous to boot.
