11-Year-Old Docked Points for Not Bashing Trump
PJ Media ^ | 02/20/2017 | Tom Knighton

To say that some people dislike Donald Trump may well be the understatement of the year. It's hard to imagine any duly elected president seeing so many protests in his first two months in office, yet here we are.

It's so bad that now an 11-year-old in Annadale, New York, was docked 15 points on a homework assignment because she failed to answer a question demanding students bash Trump:

Vincent Ungro, a dad from Annadale, New York, has an 11-year-old daughter who attends I.S. (Intermediate School) 75. She asked him for help with her vocabulary homework last Friday night because she was trying to fill in the blanks from a word bank to complete her assignment -- and was really puzzled.

“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,” read one homework sentence.

Viewing the picture of the assignment, it suspiciously looks “common core”. Earlier this year I tutored a student who had to complete a review sheet for his literature assignment . . .a story about bullying. The last question for this 6th grader was. . .How do you handle conflict in your home?

This is begging for a lawsuit against the school district. I hope they dismiss the teacher.

President Trump speaks in a very superior and intelligent manner insulting many people. He needs to be more forceful so that the American people respect and admire him.

This father was on TV last night - forget the show but had to be FOX as I seldom see any others...the points were given back to her so this isn’t an HONEST report either...while the bashing of the MSM goes on and on.

FReepers need to deliver the criticism WHEREVER it’s needed.

The one about Obama is not as extreme, as factually he was the first African American president, if we don’t count Warren Harding.

Still, teachers shouldn’t use anything even remotely political.

The real story is that the points were taken away in the first place. Viewing the picture of the assignment, it suspiciously looks “common core”. Earlier this year I tutored a student who had to complete a review sheet for his literature assignment . . .a story about bullying. The last question for this 6th grader was. . .How do you handle conflict in your home?

Barak Obama set a bad precedent of electing non-citizens when he became president.

William Wallace if I recall was only docked 10 points in the year of our Lord 1300. Nice work kid.

I don’t see the issue. The parents sent their kid to a PUBLIC SCHOOL - just what were they expecting?

The public schools are totally out of control, filled with leftist, pedophiles, deviates, socialist and other democrat control freaks.
