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.

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. I have long feared that my sins would return to visit me, and the cost is more than I can bear. - The Patriot |
