Michigan Teacher on Leave After Assignment Displays Barack Obama with Monkeys – Asks Students to Identify a Primate

Now thats funny pic did they pick Obutt

If the teacher was just trying to show that humans are classied as primates, then who cares?

Also Obama is half black and half white so how is it racist

Plus his mon was white so when push comes to shove, the tiebreaker is whoever gave birth to him

Right on, that should be the teachers entire defense, to use a famous white/black mixed person was a purposeful choice as to not be viewed as a racist.

Had the teacher used a white or a black person, that would have been much worse.

The take away is humans are primates.

A biology teacher at a private school for gifted students in Michigan was placed on leave after an assignment displayed a photo of Barack Obama next to monkeys and other animals and asked students to identify primates.

The incident occurred in Roeper School, a private school in Oakland County. The school did not disclose the teacher’s name. According to a report from Click on Detroit, there were no classes held on Thursday, and police were stationed outside the school due to threats made online.

The assignment showed the students a headshot of Barack Obama with monkeys and other animals. It asked, “Who’s who? Which of the following are primates?”



“On behalf of Roeper School’s leadership, we want to acknowledge the disturbing racial offense contained in an assignment with an upper school class last week. The choice to use this piece of curriculum was completely inconsistent with our School’s philosophy and mission and we sincerely apologize for its use and the harm it has caused. While the teacher has taken responsibility and admits the mistake of not properly vetting the resource, we know that is not enough and she has been placed on administrative leave until further notice,” the school said in a statement.

So using Obama as an example of a human is offensive in biology class.

You prove that with every post.

I wonder how a black person would answer that test?

And where’s the issue here?

Now it’s offensive to call black people primates

Actually, there is a reason why they picked Obama and it shows that the teacher was non-racial. Instead of putting a white or a black person in the test, which could have caused a diversity issue for the kids. If the teacher put only a black person or only a white person in the test, that could cause problems. However, if the teacher put both a white person and also a black person in the test, the smart kids may abstain from answering.
