Public Schools Being Used For Propaganda




[From article]
The taxpayer-funded assignment requires students to “pretend you are” a “Muslim male/female in U.S.” and “give 3 examples of what you do daily for your religion and any struggles you face.”
The assignment requires an essay of five paragraphs in length (“intro, 3 body paragraphs, closing”).
Keep in mind we’ve been doing work and watching documentaries that have the facts needed to write the essay,” Urban, the teacher adds. The two asterisks are hers.
At least some parents of students in Urban’s Union Grove High class are unhappy about the assignment.

Almost exactly two years ago, the Union Grove school district was in the news for another questionable assignment.
The April 2013 assignment involved a crossword puzzle teaching eighth graders that conservatives are a bunch of authoritarian, oppressive thugs.
Conservatism, according to the public school assignment, is “the political belief of preserving traditional moral values by restricting personal freedoms and encouraging prosperity through economic freedom.”
