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.<\/p>\n<p>Her Math question had asked her to compare three women\u2019s weights and to determine \u2018how much heavier\u2019 one was compared to the lightest student.<\/p>\n<p>The little girl wrote, \u201cThis is offensive.
