“The Holocaust assignment was developed in December by a small group of eighth-grade teachers working on the third-quarter English Language Arts argumentative writing/research project. It was based on the eighth-grade Diary of Anne Frank unit the students would be working on.”
School board says, “Holy crap, somebody complained. What do we do?” Officially: “The board and staff are deeply sorry for the hurt and propagation of misinformation caused by this assignment. There was no intent to be hurtful, but due to a lack of critical thought and a lack of internal checks and balances, this project commenced and turned into a horribly inappropriate assignment.”
Eighth grade teachers will undergo sensitivity training at the Museum of Tolerance.”
Oh, and the acting superintendent, Mohammad Z. Islam, and school spokeswoman Syeda Jafri are now victims, after someone from Connecticut called and made threats.
What the school district has is a bunch of teachers who don’t know history and who are anti-Semitic. Otherwise, why the “gain wealth” aspect? Sensitivity training will only teach the anti-Semites that they should hide their beliefs except when in the company of other anti-Semites.
