Math Assignment in Missouri Teaches Children About Maya Angelou's Past of Sexual Abuse, Work as ProstituteRebecca Downs
Apr 17, 2022
A math homework plan circulating over Twitter on Saturday exposes the absurdity that children are being subject to, in this case learning about author Maya Angelou's life of sexual abuse when she was eight-years-old, and her work as a pimp, prostitute, and nightclub dancer. While this lesson was out of Missouri, it also further reinforces how right Florida's Department of Education was for rejecting 41 percent of math textbooks, since they contained prohibited concepts such as Critical Race Theory (CRT), as Landon covered earlier on Saturday.
On Saturday night, Christina Pushaw, Gov. DeSantis' press secretary, shared photos of a math homework plan for ninth graders, as well as a letter dated February 22, 2022, from Mark S. Penny, the superintendent of the Lincoln County R-III school system. It is the 25th largest out of 518 school districts in Missouri.
Conor Martin, the Bedford Township Republican Central Committeeman had tweeted out a picture of the homework assignment in February.

As it turns out, this homework assignment has been used at other high schools, though, over many years. For instance, in 2017, students in the Pennridge School District, in Pennsylvania, as well as in Fort Myers, Florida in 2015, were given the assignment, according to the Associated Press.
