I strongly disagree about what the article demonstrates. Did you read all the way to the end? The connections were well and strongly laid out. If you were unable to comprehend that part of the article, then too bad. It was one of the most interesting sections in the entire piece.

Good morning.
Many articles regarding hatred of the Jewish people. Kinda depressing.

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 dont believe there was malice or intent to cause any insensitivities to our families of Jewish faith. One-third of the students refused to complete the assignment, she said. Vanden Wyngaard said the exercise reflects the type of writing expected of students under the new Common Core curriculum, the tough new academic standards that require more sophisticated writing. Such assignments attempt to connect English with history and social studies.
As I read the article, it hit me that no place does it say that the writing assignment came from a text. The above copy/paste makes it sound like the idea came from the teacher in that school.

It sounds like the "common core requirement" is "challenge students to formulate a persuasive argument."
And it sounds like a Jew-hater at that school came up with the idea of Nazis and Jews.

You’re probably right, xzins. Any study plan can be slanted toward the prejudice of the teacher. This was an insidious argument that the teacher requested the students to make. Good for those who refused to do so.
