The worksheet is idiotic since the girl with a bag of money has nothing to do with the mathematical concept.

I find it pretty silly that all these textbook companies need to make all the worksheets interesting. As if you don't use the word distribute in word-play then the kids will be stupid, and not understand the concept.

The guy on Fox is complaining about the picture in the lesson being biased, not trying to link math's distributive property to a so called liberal bias in school.

My point is explaining the word-play, and why Fox News is ridiculously stupid.

This said, it is not a liberal conspiracy. It is pure laziness from the publisher who could not find an image that was related to the concept.

So, Fox is grasping at straws, but this worksheet is really confusing kids on maths concepts.

Fox News is grasping at straws, because they're projecting.

Looks like Fox News doesn't understand 3rd grade level math, that's the year I literally learned about the distributive property, LMAO! I also hate Greg Gutfeld, he's just an arrogant asshole who thinks he's funny but in reality, he's a pompous unfunny moron.

10. Muslim gay bar

Remember when he made the joke about how he was going to build a Muslim gay bar next to a mosque? I hate that political correctness stuff except it wasn't that funny, he's just a dick.

It wasn't a mosque, and they don't give a damn about the constitution, or freedom of religion.

He's still a dick, and you're right. How do these Republicans say that they are the ones for the Constitution and anti-big government when many of them literally want to outlaw fornication, condoms, and basically want the government in your bedroom. What year do we live in, again?

14. Funny you say that

That's actually funny that you say that. Because there's a higher teenage pregnancy rate in the "moral" southern states than the "immoral" Northern ones.
