A Twitchy mole tells us that high school freshmen in Colorado who took the PARCC English test today were forced to set aside their regular academic assignments to read and answer questions about a passage from the grade-school fairy tale Rapunzel.

Other students from across the country tweeted that they had to do the same.

It’s hard to know whether to laugh or cry.
