An eighth grade teacher in Mobile, Alabama named JoAnne Bolser is retiring at the end of the year. And according to at least one of her colleagues, she’s well respected in the community. But probably not as much as she used to be . . .

We’re not sure how old she is, but she looks like she’s in her 60’s or early 70’s. And she decided to go out with a bang last Friday . . . by giving students a math test where all the questions were about pimps, prostitutes, and DRUGS.

It’s a fake test that dates back to the mid ’80s, and it’s been circulating online since the mid ’90s. Apparently it’s supposed to be funny, but it’s really just racist.

One of the questions on the version JoAnne used said, quote, “Tyrone knocked up 4 girls in the gang. There are 20 girls in his gang. What is the exact percentage of girls Tyrone knocked up?” (Not that it matters, but the correct answer is 20%.)

And another question was, “Dwayne pimps 3 ho’s. If the price is $85 per trick, how many tricks per day must each ho turn to support Dwayne’s $800 per day crack habit?” (Again, it doesn’t matter, but the answer is four. And that’s a HEFTY crack habit.)

A bunch of parents complained after their kids told them about it over the weekend. So JoAnne’s been on administrative leave this week. And it looks like that’s how she’ll end her teaching career, because their last day of school was Wednesday.
