What was This School Thinking? Are We Really Post Racial?

[Asclepias]

Great, apply it to elementary school. My response and considerable experience stands unaltered. Go ahead and ask around this site. See what you come up with.

You made the unsubstantiated claim that my opinion was ridiculous. You go post a poll. Get back to me on the results.

No, you don't. That's ridiculous.

There you go again...

There you go again. I already know. You are seeking validation. Go seek it substitute teacher.

 

[Unkotare]

I never said I was a substitute teacher. Why do you keep saying that?

 

[Asclepias]

Isn't this the "common core" approved by Obama?
I saw one where they wanted the students to pretend they were Nazis..I wonder if you would have a problem with that? You people better FIGHT to get you children's Education out of the hand of this Federal Commie government

Common Core Writing Assignment: Think Like a Nazi and Explain Why Jews Are Evil (Video)

A new Common Core writing assignment asks students to think like a Nazi and explain why Jews are evil.
This story first broke back in April:


The Times Union reported, via Poor Richard’s News:


Think like a Nazi, the assignment required students. Argue why Jews are evil.

Students in some Albany High School English classes were asked this week as part of a persuasive writing assignment to make an abhorrent argument: “You must argue that Jews are evil, and use solid rationale from government propaganda to convince me of your loyalty to the Third Reich!”

Students were asked to watch and read Nazi propaganda, then pretend their teacher was a Nazi government official who needed to be convinced of their loyalty. In five paragraphs, they were required to prove that Jews were the source of Germany’s problems.

The exercise was intended to challenge students to formulate a persuasive argument and was given to three classes, Albany Superintendent Marguerite Vanden Wyngaard said. She said the assignment should have been worded differently.

“I would apologize to our families,” she said. “I don’t believe there was malice or intent to cause any insensitivities to our families of Jewish faith.”

Is this something that is required of 3rd graders? I don't see a problem with it as long as it is age appropriate. I do have a problem with a 3rd grader being traumatized by this sort of stuff without the parents being given input or warning on it.

Did anyone realize that this was created by a left-wing teacher?

crackers in Georgia just dont get it,but they will.

You do know that the term "cracker" isn't offensive to whites.

But nice try boy!

It isn't? We've been told on these very boards that it is the white equivalent of the "N" word.

The slave owners were also black.

Then you've been lied to.

It was probably a white liberal that told you that. They are known liars after all.

Every one of them.

And yes that makes this made up story ok.

People keep saying we are post racial but it seems some people just don't get it or don't want to get it. How do you put these word problems on a 3rd graders homework without some kind of permission from the parents and context in the classroom? Brought to you by a school district in GA

Liberal Democrats run the school system fucko. Even in GA (or Texas for that matter). Maybe this shows the racism in the liberal democrat methink. Notice this didn't happen at a private school. This stuff NEVER happens at a private school. They are much SMARTER than the communist style public education elites that run into the GROUND public schools!

Do you always ask if you are a liberal or a conservative before forming an opinion on something? You are one sad, dumbass if you do.
