Students given AI slop with misspelled state names, faulty table of elements, angering parents
NYPost | 8/21/26 | Marc VartabedianKentucky middle school parents are furious over instructional packets teachers assigned their kids that were filled with AI slop like misspelled state names and a faulty table of elements, according to a report.
The packet, handed out on the first day of class at Farnsley Middle School in Louisville, featured a US geography map with jaw-dropping flubs like Kentucky being mislabeled “Venecky” and Louisiana as “Lookoong,” according to local news station WDRB.
“Mom, did you know that we live in Venecky?” Stacey Morris said her son joked to her on the drive home after his first day.
She didn’t know what her son was talking about until she opened the material and was appalled by the lesson, according to WDRB.
“Arizona is Arizone. Illinois starts with a V. I mean, it’s crazy,” Morris said, adding that Texas was spelled “Taxas” and New Mexico was “New Mizone,” while Oklahoma was morphed into “Olkchoma.”
