A fourth-grader at a Utah elementary school says a problem on her math homework was offensive.
The math problem compared girls' weights, KSTU reports.
“I didn’t like that because girls shouldn’t be comparing each other. I know it was a math problem … but I don’t think that was really OK," 9-year-old Rhythm told KSTU.
The question read as follows: "The table to the right shows the weight of three Grade 4 students. How much heavier is Isabell than the lightest student?"

I demand the principal and teacher to be fired immediately live on tv. Also evicted from their homes. Maybe pay for a safe space for the dumb kid who can’t spell. Thank you.
Can you imagine the political correctness that this 4th grader must be surrounded with to think in such a way? Nothing on that paper was comparing one girl to another, or making judgments about them. It's just math problems!!
In addition, this school (or child) apparently needs an emphasis on spelling... Some schools aren't teaching it anymore. Not good.
