PARKERS PRAIRIE, Minn. — A hypothetical zombie apocalypse is to blame for recent controversy at Parkers Prairie High School in west-central Minnesota.
A teacher gave ninth-grade geography students an assignment that Principal Carey Johnson initially said is part of a nationally recognized curriculum called Zombie-Based Learning. One of the questions asked students to choose three people to sacrifice during a zombie apocalypse and explain why they were chosen.
The assignment from teacher angered some parents of ninth-graders, such as Michelle Diedrich.
“I told her (the principal) I want a copy of the zero for my daughter’s grade,” Diedrich said. “I will be proud because that zero is how many children she (the daughter) gave up.”
While the Zombie-Based Learning curriculum, created by Washington state teacher David Hunter, has been used in the district for a number of years, this specific question had never been included alongside the curriculum previously. Hunter said it is not part of the curriculum he has written.
