In the era of \u201cwoke\u201d progressivism and social justice, the Sun Prairie Area School District in Wisconsin become another target of offense after a historically accurate question sparked outrage. In fact, the singular question caused such controversy that multiple teachers were immediately placed on administrative leave.<\/p>\n
According to Newsweek, the school district announced that they have suspended a \u201csmall group\u201d of teachers following a controversial question on a social studies homework assignment. In a lengthy email, the district offered an apology to parents, students, and the community for the \u201cgrave error\u201d its educators committed in posing the scenario to pupils.<\/p>\n

\nThe assignment focused on the subject of ancient Mesopotamian culture and Hammurabi\u2019s Code, which is a 3700-year-old legal system that issued outdated and barbaric punishments for crimes. The question that evoked such outrage posed a realistic ancient scenario in which sixth-graders were asked how they would punish a disobedient slave in accordance with Hammurabi\u2019s Code, which would include the death penalty.<\/p>\n
\u201cA slave stands before you,\u201d the question reads. \u201cThis slave has disrespected his master by telling him \u2018You are not my master!\u2019 How will you punish this slave?\u201d<\/p>\n
A screenshot of the question circulated on social media, prompting users to attribute racist intent to the teachers who assigned the lesson. Bizarrely, the question concerning slavery in ancient Mesopotamia and the now mostly defunct laws that enabled it was immediately twisted into a reference to the historical enslavement of blacks in the U.S.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese crazy white folks done lost they mind. Definitely not ok. Unacceptable,\u201d one person replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cWisconsin is the #1 worst place to raise an African American child and this shows,\u201d another commented.<\/p>\n
\u201cDistrict outta be ashamed of themselves this is completely unacceptable. They should have APOLOGIZED to your child, you, his entire class and every other black person in the school district. I\u2019m so pissed this happened at the school cuz my son go there too. Wtf else kind of racist s\u2014 goin on there that we don\u2019t know about. How disappointing,\u201d another wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
