If you think schoolkids in Utah are immune from the insane attempts of educators to curry favor from Muslims, think again. In this Utah middle school, kids were assigned homework to-you'd better be sitting down for this- make up ISIS recruitment posters.

I suppose academic freedom means teachers can't be fired for even this, but maybe this teacher could be assigned other duties-like running the pencil sharpener office.
In another account of this boondoggle (which I of course can no longer find), the school refers to the teacher as being "young and naïve". Maybe so. If so, perhaps she should have gotten a few of the rough edges knocked off and a little bit of real world experience before running her head.
ReplyDeleteProblem is there are a lot of other who are old and naive,.
ReplyDeleteYeah, as the old saying goes, when you are young and have no heart, you must be a conservative/Republican; when you are older and have no brain, you must be a liberal/Democrat.
