Florida school slammed for ‘lifeboat quiz’ asking kids if they would save ‘a black guy’ or ‘a Hispanic woman’ or a TRUMP?
A Florida elementary school is taking heat for a “Lifeboat quiz” given to kids asking them who should live or die by forcing them to choose between “a black guy” or a “Hispanic woman,” among others, reports Global News.

According to Valerie Kennel, her 11-year-old daughter Leah was given the quiz and asked who should live in hypothetical sea disaster where a lifeboat only has nine seats but there is a diverse cast of 15 people wanting to board.

Among the choices students found “a black guy,” “a white guy,” a Hispanic woman” and “a rabbi.”

Along with “a police officer,” and “a pregnant woman,” sixth-graders must also decide if they want to save President Obama or businessman Donald Trump.

The correct answer is "save the flares" so you can get rescued!

I've seen a more detailed version of this "test" before.
It may be useful in a college ethics class or psychology class, but I think this exercise is way to intense for 5th graders.

It's simplicity is more suggestive of data mining.
