Can't make this stuff up, Folks.

Listen. I'll take a torta any day of the week, but this is getting beyond the point of absurdity. At what point do we come to the conclusion that this is part of an effort to put more distance between whites and non-whites in this country?
This ain't such a big deal as your touchy knee-jerk thought police are making it out to be. The word "racist" is misapplied. What is accurate enough is that if a student is unfamiliar with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, they may fail to understand a question, not because they are unskilled as math, reading, etc., but because of the unfamiliar reference.
