How sick is this?

Folks, you can't make this stuff up!  When I read this, my jaw dropped!  The lunatics have taken over the asylum!

A school principal said she's "appalled" by a homework assignment that used scenarios about killing and whipping slaves to teach math.
 
Adele Schroeter has ordered sensitivity training for the entire staff of Public School 59 in Manhattan following last month's assignment, the Daily News reported Friday.
 
A teacher had asked fourth-graders to write homework questions that blended math and social studies, education officials said. The teacher then used the students' questions, including the slave-related ones, as homework for the class.
 
One question stated the number of slaves who died while taking over a ship. It asked how many slaves were still alive. The other said a slave was whipped five times a day and asked students to calculate how many times a month he was whipped.
 
A student-teacher said she was shocked by the wording and later refused to hand out the worksheet in another class.
 
"I looked at the questions and was like, `Wow! This is kind of inappropriate,"' Aziza Harding told the New York Post, saying the questions contained "desensitized" violence.
 
"I just found it alarming that this would happen in a state that you would think was more liberal," said Harding.
 
The Department of Education said the situation was "obviously unacceptable." It said "appropriate disciplinary action" would be taken.

I do believe in prepping, but the sad thing is if you do you can't tell anybody outside your home about it or a group of thugs will come and steal from you when the excrement hits the fan. You know how Mormons are commanded to prepare a lot of stored food for a future food shortage? That's one of the few things I actually like about them. On the other hand, I can see many of them becoming victims if people in their surounding area know about their stash.

You also have to be strong enough to see other people starving and not feed them if you want to have enough for yourself during a true food shortage or risk being killed for the food you have or starving to death yourself. It would be more in my nature to want to share, especially if it were a baby or child that was starving, but at that point hard decisions about security versus generosity would have to be made.
