MOBILE, Ala. – A Mobile County middle school teacher set to retire this year was placed on paid leave days before the end of school over an allegedly racist math quiz with references to pimps, hoes, drugs and guns.

Students at Burns Middle School took pictures of the “City of Los Angeles High School Math Proficiency Exam” and immediately notified their parents after retiring teacher JoAnne Bolser handed out the assignment to eighth-graders in a Language Arts class on Friday, WPMI and AL.com report.

Students and parents complained to school officials about the “racist” test on Tuesday, and district officials subsequently placed the veteran teacher on paid leave through the end of the year.

“My son, he took a picture of it in class and he texted it to me,” parent Erica Hall told WALA. “I couldn’t believe it.”

“They took it as a joke, and she told them that it wasn’t a joke, and they had to complete it, and turn it in,” Hall said.

Hall also posted a picture of the 10-question test online.

“Ramon has an AK-47 with a 30-round clip. He usually misses 6 out of every 10 shots and he uses 13 rounds per drive-by shooting,” question one read. “How many drive-by shootings can Ramon attempt before he has to steal enough ammunition and reload?”

“Leroy has 2 ounces of cocaine,” according to question two. “If he sells an 8 ball to Antonio for $320 and 2 grams to Juan for $85 per gram, what is the street value of the rest of his hold?”

Other questions revolved around the number of tricks a ho must turn to support her pimp’s crack habit, turning a profit with cocaine, the value of stolen automobiles, knocking up girls in a gang, shooting a thief with a 357 Magnum, and other nefarious behavior.

Question 3: “Dwayne pimps 3 ho’s. If the price is $85 per trick, how many tricks per day much each ho turn to support Dwayne’s $800 per day crack habit?”

“My language arts teacher gave it to us to work, and I was kind of laughing at it, because I thought it was kind of off,” student Peyton Lee said.

“I’m shocked,” the girl’s mother, Kellie Lee, told WALA. “I can’t believe that’s something they would … these questions they would ask children. I don’t think it’s appropriate at all.”

The news site reports that similar versions of the fictitious quiz have circulated online since the 1990s, and teachers in several states – including Texas, California and New Mexico – have faced consequences for passing it out to students.

Mobile superintendent Martha Peek refused to discuss the controversial test, and described it as a personnel issue, WKRG reports.

Bolser’s test on Friday came on the same day that another Burns Middle School teacher was suspended for allegedly duct taping a student’s hands together in class, AL.com reports.

The unidentified first year teacher was reportedly escorted from the building after a principal heard students laughing in a classroom and looked in to find the student bound, a school spokeswoman told WBRC.

“If they have a problem with a student they need to go straight to the office, and it should be handled through the office,” parent Stephanie Kay said. “No way a child should be treated that way in school.”

The duct tape teacher will face a school board hearing for possible disciplinary action, the spokeswoman told the news site.
