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.)
her 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!
I’m with you. That is extremely offensive. It would be offensive no matter the gender or skin color of the person in the photo. And what’s with that stupid caption?
I agree. I made lots of signs and hand outs for my racially/ethnically/nationality mixed Sunday School students and would never have used an image like that. Or even an image of a white “redneck” for that matter.
I stayed away from all white or all black crowd representations just because we were a really mixed congregation.
Kind of funny, we had 3 Methodist churches in town, one predominatly African-American, one Korean, and ours which was a mix of everyone including many diplomatic families from Europe and Africa, as well as whites, Asians, African-American. Three vastly different worship services tailored to the congregations.
There are plenty of appropriate graphics the teacher could have chosen. Mom should have approached the teacher and he should have apologized to her and maybe talked to the class about it, using his faux pas as a learning experience.
Yeah, WTF is that supposed to be? That’s a disgusting tasteless picture for a grade school math quiz.
I agree. The picture should not have been used.
