"The assignment, which was given out by an unidentified teacher at Roberts Middle School in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, instructed students to examine a list of 12 people selected to fly on a spaceship to another planet to avoid the Earth’s destruction. However, due to the ship’s space limitation, students must cut four people, ranking the list into “most deserving” and “least deserving” of life.
Here are the categories:
An accountant with a substance abuse problem.
A militant African-American medical student.

"I'd cut ASSHOLE manipulative libby teachers from seats on the ship who try to pigeonhole/indict their students based on a bunch of fake, rigged choices."
"A 33-year-old Native American manager who does not speak English." This was the funniest to me. You know native americans are born here, right? There is no such thing as a native american born in the US who doesnt speak english.
If this was an actual situation in that our entire species future rested with 8 humans, it would be very easy to cut the useless from this list. 1. "An accountant with a substance abuse problem." Yeah I see no use for this dude. 2) "The accountant’s pregnant wife." Sorry babe, we need able bodied adults to survive the next 6 months, not a young mother and baby. 3). "A famous novelist with a physical disability." Later doofus, there is no room in our space ship for cripples. and 4) "An Asian, orphaned, 12-year-old boy." and "A 60-year-old Jewish university administrator." These two are a toss up.
