The board of trustees at Roeper School, which is located in Michigan, decided to pass an “anti-racism resolution” in the year 2021.
Following the distribution of a worksheet by one of her students that made a comparison between former President Barack Obama and a monkey, the institution that had adopted an “anti-racism resolution” in 2021 decided to suspend the educator.
Papers with questions asking students at The Roeper School in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, to identify primates from a gallery of photos labeled with names such as apes, monkeys, and lemurs were presumably distributed to those students. Within the display was a photograph of the former president of the United States.
