Rhythm Pacheco, a 10 year old girl from Utah, refused to answer her Math test question after deeming it as “offensive” and “rude”, and had written her explanation to her teacher.

Her mother, Naomi, has been checking her daughter’s work before stumbling upon her Math test paper, and was in awe after seeing her daughter’s response to the seemingly offensive question. She decided to share a photo of it on social media, where many of the viewers have praised the little girl for standing up for her beliefs.

The little girl wrote, “This is offensive. Sorry I won’t right this it’s rood.”
