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.'

‘Barack Obama bamboozled America when he became the first African American president,’

‘President Trump is very superior and speaks in an intelligent manner, thus insulting many liberals. He needs to be more conservative so that the real American people respect and admire him even more than they already do.’

Yes! Would also have to be scored as a correct answer!
