CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A teacher is apologizing “if” she offended anyone with a quiz question about “big booties” on a high school biology test.

On a test about genetics at Ardrey Kell High School in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school district, a question states:

LaShamanda has a heterozygous big bootie, the dominant trait. Her man Fontavius has a small bootie which is recessive. They get married and have a baby named LaPrincess.

What is the probability that LaPrincess will inherit her mama’s big bootie?

The follow-up question reads, “If LaShamanda and Fontavius have another child, what is the probability that it will have a big bootie?”

Parents believe there were “racial overtones” to the question and complained, according to WBTV.

“I am extremely concerned that this type of language is being used and considered expectable [sic] to be issued to students,” a mother said while asking the teacher for an explanation.

She says she received a qualified apology from the teacher, saying she was sorry “if I offended you.”

“I had asked the students to pick two of the remaining questions on the worksheet and did not necessarily assign that particular one,” the teacher told the mother.

“I apologize if it offended you or your child,” the teacher reiterated, according to the news station.

In a written statement, the school district said “the worksheet didn’t appear to be created by the school system and has been removed from circulation,” the AP reports.

They’ve also asked teachers to stop using the worksheet.

According to WBTV, the teacher claims the worksheet was passed down to her by other teachers who have been using it in the past.

It was also reportedly part of the “Summer School Biology Notebook Packet” that teachers were given by the school district.

The mother is “relieved” the question will no longer be used.
