https://twitter.com/Region8News/status/1527725898438516737 A teacher in Michigan is on leave after administrators said she gave out an assignment showing former President Barack Obama alongside several primates. The assignment asked, Which of the following are primates? No matter what the intent was, many parents and students were offended. When I saw it, I couldnt believe it, said Carolyn Lett, director of diversity for The Roeper School. Lett said she saw the evolution lesson given to students and had questions. Is this something the teacher did, you know purposely, put this picture in along with the animals and the apes? she said. Im trying to understand this myself. Right away I had the reaction, like its so wrong I cant understand it. Lett said this is what the teacher told her and the Roeper administrators: She had her biology hat on but didnt realize the awareness that she should have had culturally. The lesson included more than one photo of the former president. Its from a Duke University website. Lett says the offensive images have hurt Roeper students, and she asked the teacher what she is going to do about it. Her intentions were a certain way, but the impact - now she realized - it had a very negative effect on her students, Lett said. (The teacher said) I need to have a conversation with my students. I said, What will that conversation look like? Own the mistake that youve done. The school did not hold classes Thursday. Police were stationed outside due to threats made online. https://www.kait8.com/2022/05/20/school-assignment-shows-obama-next-primates/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=snd&utm_content=kait ...

FWIW other articles mention that she pulled the lesson directly from a Duke University biology lesson plan, probably from back when Obama was actually the president, so this may actually just be a case of a teacher ripping material from other sources and not actually paying attention to what was being copied. Not that it makes the situation much better, of course, but it does add some context. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/oakland-county/2022/05/20/teacher-oakland- county-leave-after-assignment-placing-obama-along-primates/9853884002/ The worksheet went out to two introduction to biology classes, to a total of about 30 students. It was incorporated into a 130-page lesson plan, originally from Duke University, titled, "Apes, monkeys, and lemurs, an introduction to primates."https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/1/9/AABJX0AADQKL.jpg --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
