I don't know whether he was referring to black children or all of the children...but the Toledo school district is complaining that statements of this manner carry a historically racial context which they find appalling.

WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN WHEN SOMEONE SAYS "I AM PRO-LIFE"?
This guy made a comment on his radio show comparing black children in the Toledo Public Schools to little monkeys...that's what drew fire from the parents and teachers...
The full comments were, "... (A)s far as solving the problems of education in TOLEDO, you also have to look at the curriculum, which pretty much sucks, dictated by the federal government especially under the No Child Left Behind business, which now has teachers teaching answers to the tests, not concept, not individuality, not entrepreneurialism, not anything like that, of course some of that hasn't been taught for years. But certainly, teaching little monkeys to peel bananas and so on and then doing it correctly on cue, does not mean that they've learned everything except a funny parlor trick.
