Utah School Under Fire for Asking Students to Write ISIS Propaganda Poster
ABC News ^ | November 20, 2015 | ESTHER CASTILLEJO

The teacher, who's been on the job for just a few months, gave the in-class assignment to students in her two World Civics classes at Salem Junior High School in Salem, Utah, on Wednesday. About 60 students received the assignment, which required them to create a "neat, colored, professional" poster for the terrorist group, to "help students better understand the goals of terrorist groups and the methods they use to gain support," the assignment read.

The possibility of having to search for ISIS recruiting material on the web at a time when officials are looking to detect potential threats was alarming, Langston said.

"She did this innocently, she's a naive young teacher," Hiskey said. "She wants to do the right thing."

Hopefully, she learned a valuable lesson. Doing something stupid on a new job can be expected sometimes.

Huh ??? She knew what she was doing

""The teacher included a note asking students to come forward if they felt uncomfortable..."

I'd draw a picture of a Mormon Missionary wearing a bomb vest and holding the Qu'ran. The words on the post would be:

Hello!
My name is Brother Price
And I would like to share with you
The most amazing book!

Did she offer American students the chance to make a Marine Corps recruiting poster?

These are the same people who had schoolkids sing songs in praise of Omoeba three and seven years ago.

Young as well as being stupid is no excuse. You are being way toooooo generous. She should be immediately terminated.

I think that was a pretty good assignment.

Mine would have read:

ISLAM

Rape, Kill, Pillage, Burn and Go to Paradise!

What a Deal!

Maybe a science project to find where John Warnock Hinckley, Jr., made mistakes in his project and how it should have been!

There are no "good" public schools left ... anywhere. Not even in leafy, affluent suburbs.

Those of us who went to public schools might remember having a few good teachers. Well, that generation of teachers is now long gone. Their younger replacements are stupid and naive, fresh out of indoctrination centers college.

Few of the current generation of teachers even understand the subject matter they're supposed to teach. Their vocabulary, grammar and spelling are appalling. To cover up their incompetence, they're allowed to deploy faddish methods such as "community math" (which involves dividing up students into small groups, wherein they're supposed to "teach themselves" math without teacher help). Classic literature is no longer in the curriculum; politically correct pablum is almost all that is left.

And again, I'm talking about allegedly "good" schools in a well-off, conservative area.
