'President Trump is very superior and _____': Father of sixth-grade student is outraged
Daily Mail ^ | February 19, 2017 | Karen Ruiz

The father of a sixth-grade student from Paulo Intermediate School in Staten Island was outraged to see his 11-year-old daughter's assignment turned political.

The student's English teacher is under fire after slipping an anti-Trump question into the girl's homework.

The homework sheet contained a fill-in-the-blank portion where students were asked to provide vocabulary terms from a box of words for sentences about Donald Trump and Barack Obama.

The lines read: 'President Trump speaks in a very superior and _________ manner insulting many people. He needs to be more __________ so that the American people respect and admire him.'

The correct words for the blanks were meant to be filled with 'haughty' and 'humble,' the Staten Island Advance said.

Another said: 'Barack Obama set a _________ when he became the first African American president,' the sentence was supposed to be completed with the word 'precedent.'

The assignment sheet had been drawn up by Adria Zawatsky, an English teacher who has taught at the school for 12 years, the Advance reported.

Vincent Ungro said he told his daughter not to fill in the question as he believed the assignment was 'disparaging the president.'

Instead, the father-of-four wrote to the school teacher on the girl's assignment saying: 'Please keep your political views to yourself and do not try to influence my daughter.'

I’m pretty sure the answer to #9 is “very low bar”.

No surprises here. For eight years, the public schools idolized Obama. The same people will demonize Trump until they are brought to heel.

This kind of presumptuous behavior doesn’t exist in a vacuum. More like the teacher has been spewing propaganda for years unimpeded, so thinks nothing of this type of assignment. Same ol’ same ol’.
