I’m sure they wrote “it never happened” with a grin on their face. Teachers like creativity and I bet they got the highest marks.
The parents should sue.
I would agree. While the fact that 50 students could deny something as well documented as the Holocaust says either they have a lot of Islamic students or that left wing history teachers are airbrushing the subject, the idea that you could write an essay in school and have it released to interest groups whoever they might be may have some scary repercussions. Today it may be Holocaust denial, but what about anti-abortion essays, or writings on the falsehood of same sex marriage?
More reason to steer clear of public education.
These were the same students that also made an essay on how the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor and started the Vietnam War, right?
Beyond scary.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
