You can see how the image of the worksheet carefully cuts off the list of primate types, to exclude "human".

I wonder if the same outrage would be made over Albert Einstein's similar use in a similar depiction of primates....specifically apes?

Yeah definitely sketchy. Also there is enough space between gorilla and spider monkey for human to fit which is inconsistent with the spacing we can see between the other categories. Furthermore even if human was left off the list it would make sense since the question is asking which of the following is endangered, and obviously humans aren’t.

If this is a "disturbing racial offense" and causes "harm" to high school students, they need to go back to grammar school. The sheet very obviously is not comparing a man to primates, he is being shown as different to them.

If someone looks at this perfectly-fine assignment and thinks "this is racist they are saying he is a monkey" then that person is the actual racist.

We have been indoctrinated to believe in blind evolution without an intelligent design, and this so-called "news" is more separation of man from God.

Obama is a leader of men who are becoming beasts, and his image is being displayed here among animals. It it time for men to repent and see they are being set up to worship the image of the beast.

I saw a lot of monkey looking people back when I was in the US Army and even a few neanderthals.
