Here is a page from an algebra test administered by a community college in Washington State.
A word problem on velocity uses a woman named Condolezza, and
asks you to calculate the speed at which a
watermelon she drops from a
federal building will hit the ground.
Though this question has appeared on tests
in the past, only this year has anybody complained.
The teacher who wrote the test has been sent to sensitivity training.
Yeah, that'll help.
