Ga. School Used Slavery Analogy To Teach Math

(CBS News)  
Nine third-grade math teachers in Gwinnett County, Georgia, have caused an uproar by giving their students assignments using examples involving slavery and the beating of Fredrick Douglass as analogies for solving math problems, according to multiple reports.
Officials at Beaver Ridge Elementary, located in the suburban sprawl Northeast of Atlanta, are still sorting through the situation, but school district spokeswoman Sloan Roach told CBS Atlanta they have no reason to believe that there was any intent to the racially-infused, cross-curricular questions.
