A D.C. public school gave a sixth grade class a homework assignment that required students to draw comparisons between former President George W. Bush and Adolf Hitler.
The parent, who asked not to be named, said when he called the school office to complain he was told that the assignment was part of a curriculum unit approved by the school system. He said his sixth-graders class had been studying both the Holocaust
and the Iraq war.
Not sure if this is deserving of it's own thread. But it'll probably tickle LG pink.
Love how the school said it was a "mistake." You make a mistake writing the wrong year on a check or cooking a chicken too long. A conscious effort to have middle school children compare a US President and Hitler? Not buying it was a mistake...

ROCHESTER, Mich. (WJBK) - Lieutenant Colonel Sherwood Baker says he is just a father who was trying to help his daughter find her way at her new high school.
Lt... Baker has served in the Army for 24 years. This past week he was told by Rochester Adams high school security that if he wanted to get into the high school with his daughter he was going to have to go home and change his clothes.
Baker's wife, Rachel Ferhadson says, "Before he was allowed in, the security guard stopped him and said sorry your not allowed in the school. Security told him men and women in uniform weren't allowed because it may offend another student."

If I were a teacher and had a student drawing a BOMB, it most certainly would have raised a red flag in my mind.
Rhett Parham, inspired by his favorite video game, Bomberman, drew a picture of the explosive and showed it to friends

Can't draw a bomb but can play a game where the "hero" is Bomberman. Awesome.
Honestly, that bomb looks like the one Boris Badenov uses
Most certainly not. Raising a finger and yelling "POW" will definitely earn you a trip to the local jail and an automatic suspension. In addition, referring to a Native as an Injun will result in mandatory sensitivity, diversity, and inclusiveness training.
