The father of a sixth-grade student from Paulo Intermediate School in Staten Island was outraged to see his 11-year-old daughter's assignment turned political.
The student's English teacher is under fire after slipping an anti-Trump question into the girl's homework.
The homework sheet contained a fill-in-the-blank portion where students were asked to provide vocabulary terms from a box of words for sentences about Donald Trump and Barack Obama.
The lines read: 'President Trump speaks in a very superior and _________ manner insulting many people. He needs to be more __________ so that the American people respect and admire him.'
The correct words for the blanks were meant to be filled with 'haughty' and 'humble,' the Staten Island Advance said.
Another said: 'Barack Obama set a _________ when he became the first African American president,' the sentence was supposed to be completed with the word 'precedent.'
The assignment sheet had been drawn up by Adria Zawatsky, an English teacher who has taught at the school for 12 years, the Advance reported.
Vincent Ungro said he told his daughter not to fill in the question as he believed the assignment was 'disparaging the president.'
Instead, the father-of-four wrote to the school teacher on the girl's assignment saying: 'Please keep your political views to yourself and do not try to influence my daughter.'

The teacher doesn’t even know how to use punctuation?
The muslims were the nazi’s allies in WWII. Too bad they weren’t deconstructed too.
The sentence was supposed to be completed with the word 'precedent.'
Restructured properly:
Barack Hussein Obama was the first hAlfrican American World Citizen Precedent of the United States.
I pray to God that never happens again.
Loyalist Blacks, I have absolutely no problem with. If you love this nation and want to push sound policy, I will evaluate all the candidates and vote for you if you are the best.
A word to the wise..., race is only a problem for race-baiting Leftists, who lie to get votes and never do anything for minorities before it's time to make promises they won't keep AGAIN.
Lefty teacher needs to also look at #7.
My sentiments exactly. It is time for everyone to step forward and challenge these crazies at every opportunity. My latest move:
Why I Am Cancelling Two Subscriptions to Smithsonian (Vanity)
"Now, at the end of the article she was unable to keep her political views and liberal opinion to herself."

"I'm cancelling my subscription and a gift subscription that I give my son."
Barack Obama set____________ answer: a nation on fire
I worked in public schools for over 3 decades. This kind of activity has been going on that long, at least where I worked.
The way they justify it is to call it “helping children learn to become good members of their community”, actively contributing to society.
IIRC, this goal was an officially-stated educational goal. It is mostly applied to their efforts in turning the children into environmental activists.
awe...SOME!!!
Thread winner!
You made me laugh.
shot or hanged?
School Choice for All. Defund public schools as much as possible. Next cut tuition loans to students of graduate schools.
When I was a kid the teachers kept their political views to themselves. We also had a good share of normal men.. WWII vets teaching math, sciences, drafting and such.
Now that the profession has devolved into an ideological cesspool wherein no light can permeate, how many good role models remain?
I can’t imagine those same types of men (or anybody rightly-wired) being able to tolerate the control-freak harridans running the current asylums. They all have a target on their backs. The innocent children lose on multiple levels.
‘President Trump speaks in a very superior and APPROPRIATE manner insulting many people. He needs to be more HIMSELF so that the American people respect and admire him.’
Another said: ‘Barack Obama set a LOW BAR when he became the first African American president,’
How’m I doin’ teach?
Thanks for the link.
It’s time to drain the education swamp. This is kind of garbage “truly inspired and talented” teachers have to put up with on a daily basis. How would you like to share an hour in the teacher’s lounge with this bozo?
Ok teach I filled in the blanks.
President Trump speaks in a very superior and truthful manner where people should take heed, however many believe he is insulting many people, but these people live in a very fake news world of untruthful fantasies that is created by liberals, communists, and globalists.

Gee I thought it might be set a “new golf handicap”
