LENOIR, N.C. Several members of a North Carolina community are upset after high school students were given a controversial quiz.
WSOC-TV reported that it happened to students in an AP psychology class at West Caldwell High School in Lenoir.
They were told it was an intelligence test, according to WSOC-TV. The school district said it was a classroom assignment, describing it as a mock test to give students exposure to cultural bias.
After the quiz was given, school officials said there was discussion about bias and misconceptions in different cultures and the use of slang.
After the district was made aware of the assignment, the teacher was told not to use the Chitling Test again. School officials said an internal investigation is underway.
The superintendent of West Caldwell High School said the test has no place in the classroom.
He reportedly met with local African-American clergy, members of the NAACP and the police chief Thursday morning to discuss the test. Afterwards, they held hands and prayed.
Yup. Figured that out 1 minute and 18 seconds before you posted. See #29.
A. A pack o' crackahs!
If there are two dice, wouldn’t the that depend on what combination equals seven on top? 3 & 4 or 6 & 1 on top would have different bottoms than 5 & 2.
Stupid question.

IF!!!!!
(example: I gave an extra credit assignment - "defy gravity" for at least 10 sec, and no more than 3 min... no touching or interference with the object after the timer begins. No electronics allowed. 1 point per second over 10. Some wonderfully creative ideas they came up with. Most simply used a weight from a scale-balance. Among my favorites: encase the weight in an ice cube attached to a string, and place it in front of a hair dryer that was turned on... several memorable Rube Goldberg contraptions... etc etc etc)
Something's fishy right there.

Same effect: a bunch of very smart kids can feel very dumb when asked to show skills and knowledge in a culture they are unfamiliar with. No need for getting Jesse and Al's panties in a bunch.
If I read it right then the superintendent met with a group of people and then prayed. Why is everyone protesting the test and not the prayer. After all, liberal groups always claim a separation of church and state.
Is there any natural law why that would be so? I can make a cube with any number on any side. Two cubes don't even have to be identically marked.
Disclaimer: I haven't seen those cubes for many decades.
Sure you can, but legal dice must have opposite faces add up to 7.
