Lim, a college student going to school remotely, noticed the question while looking at her sister’s work. “With this example, we see that starting from middle school the students are taught to think differently about China, about Asian Americans, people who look different than them,” said Lim. In a statement, the district told NBCDFW: “Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD values our diverse community of learners and staff. Actions or language disrespecting any people group are not acceptable and do not represent our core belief system. "Recently we learned of a situation where three teachers used inappropriate language about Asian Americans on a secondary social studies test. The words used on the test question were derogatory and hurtful. The teachers have been placed on administrative leave until the investigation is complete.
