Ohio Teacher Suspended After ‘Morality Test’ Goes Awry With Incest, Puppy-Killing Questions
The Western Journal ^ | 9/9/2018

Posted on 09/10/2018 5:38:52 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

After an Ohio parent blew the whistle on a morality test given to a high school class, the Hilliard City School District sent the teacher who gave the test to time out.

Students were given a 36-question test about various ethical situations in which they were asked to choose what actions were OK and which were not.

But the questions, given to a 10th-grade language arts class at Hilliard Bradley High School, crossed a line as far as parent Todd Sandberg was concerned, The Columbus Dispatch reported.

Sandberg said the test was graded in a way that it would tell students their “moral foundation” and their political leanings.

“What does the teacher need to know that information for?” he asked. “The questions are so out of line for high school language arts.”

Some questions asked about typical conflicts and dilemmas, but some were more disturbing and involved sex and violence.

One question talked about a scenario in which “A man kills a baby rabbit with a knife” on a live TV show. As with all the questions, students had to grade the comment on a scale from “Not OK” to “OK.”

In another instance, according to Fox News, students were asked to respond to this statement: “Using both a condom and a pill, a brother and a sister decide that they want to sleep with each other — just once, to see what it would be like.”

“Sarah’s dog has four puppies,” another scenario read, according to Fox News. “She can only find a home for two of them, so she kills the other two with a stone to the head.”

Sandberg pointed out the questions on a Facebook site for parents.

“My job was to point it out,” Sandberg said. “It is clearly evident that it’s out there in the public. The public eye is aware of it. I knew it was going to cause a firestorm.”

The teacher was placed on administrative leave while the district sorts out what to do next, WTTE reported.

The NEA is a fifth-column like the Fourth Estate.

These sound like the tests I took for my old government job.

My old government job was very, very strange but at the end of the day filled with some of the most intelligent and frankly dangerous people (To cross) I have met to this day.

[According to the Canton Repository, documents released by the district said the teacher who gave the test is named Sarah Gillam and she has taught at the school since 2007.]

Sounds like my experience consulting with a public accounting firm. Yes, still in business to this day; having merged with another company.

Nobody bother asking, I won’t name them here nor in FReepmail.

But you WOULD know the name.

We can easily guess how it determined political leanings. That part was certainly based on leftist talking points and stereotyping.

Pubic school teachers are possibly the most harmful group in our nation. Lawyers are next to them. They are highly indoctrinated leftist sheeple, projecting unAmerican propaganda upon our young, impressionable children 190 or so days a year.

Oh my god I think we may know each other.

Many operations in many different styles of intelligence involve finance (mostly finance in fact) I.T. companies, and other white collar groups that are actually owned by the Mafia, foreign governments, our OWN government or certain political parties throughout the US.

People would be blown away to see how many companies out there, advertising on TV and known the world over, are owned by the Mafia.

And how many accounting firms are owned by the IRS. And by the DoD. And the FBI. And god knows how many by the CIA.

Many people would be surprised to know how many government spooks work in the restaurant industry. TONS.

Sounds like the “teacher” wrote out her fantasies and then wanted tthe kids to validate them.

Hmmmm, interesting you mentioned “Mafia” - I told one guy to watch them - that they were like the Mafia.

The only thing I could rely on is whatever story they were telling me was absolutely not the truth. There was always a hidden agenda. In that sense they were very, very much like an ex-girlfriend. It was always a stunt to lead you down some path where they had some other goal. And of course, they would often do the same with the client.

Because of the two of them, primarily, I was able to read Obama within 24 hours as disingenuous. After the ex-girlfriend and before that job, I got to know a guy we hired at church. Same thing.

Sometimes it's hard to make everything work out. Then there are people who glad-hand you not long after they just stabbed you in the back but they don't expect you'll find out about that part.

I wouldn't trust Obama to put my mail in the mailbox.

Perhaps not fantasies. Perhaps her own personal experiences?

Seeing as how one of her “questions” has a girl with the same first name.

Something “else” going on there......

As a parent you discover your child’s teacher trying to influence her moral stance against your will. Do you:

A) Amass a tar and feather team and string her up the opposing teams goal post on the school’s football field?

B) Lash her/him, hand and foot, to a steel rail on the trestle of the local railroad?

C) Pack her bags, shave her bald and send her back to the liberal hell hole she came from.

D) Freelance answers for extra credit.________________________________________

The “incest question” qbout the brother and sister that was used was taken almost verbatim from a Jonathan Haidt book.

I guess they had better get down to the library now and start burning books.

Hard to see a problem with this. Parents send their kids to schools run by leftists and financed by leftists (i.e., it is government that hands out the money).

Parents shouldn’t be surprised, then, when the Leftists who finance, operate, and teach at the schools - well, act like Leftists...and this is just a mild case of it.

No different than the fable about the scorpion and the frog.

Was the teacher trying to figure out if the kids were replicants from Blade Runner?

You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?
