The mother of an eight-year-old wants to know why a Tennessee school teacher gave her child a handout from the Nation of Islam that portrayed the presidents on Mount Rushmore as being racists.
Sommer Bauer tells me her son was given The Nation of Islam handout at Harold McCormick Elementary School in Elizabethton. The handout asked “What does it take to be on Mount Rushmore?"
The handout then explains that George Washington hailed from Virginia, a “prime breeder of black people.” Of Theodore Roosevelt, it was alleged he called Africans “ape-like.” There were also disparaging remarks made of Thomas Jefferson (he enslaved 200 Africans) and Abraham Lincoln.

Sommer told me she reached out to the teacher for an explanation – hoping it was an honest mistake.
“At first, she did not recall which paper it was,” she said. “Later in the day, she found the paper and told me she didn’t like what it said – and said she must have printed it by mistake.”
The teacher also told Sommer that her son was not supposed to take the Nation of Islam handout home. It was supposed to stay in the classroom. That bit of news caused her great alarm.

Nation of Islam pigs are traitors to their own black African forefathers , who were rounded up en masse and taken to the coasts to be sold into slavery , my black MUSLIMS .

Kind of like the pot calling the kettle..,uh, black.

It’s time for decent, normal Americans to start suing these so-called “schools”.
Dear Folks,
In response to yesterday’s coverage by Fox News of an occurrence involving a sheet of paper taken home by a third-grade student at Harold McCormick Elementary School, the following is an accurate clarification: First, when this circumstance was first brought to my attention yesterday afternoon in a phone message, I immediately called the school Principal and obtained the details. I then call the individual at Fox back and relayed the specific information I had just gotten. The Principal quickly had done a thorough investigation and found the following (all of which was given to Fox News, prior to his national news report): 1) the sheet in question was not a hand-out sheet distributed to the students; 2) the sheet had been generated from internet information (on Mount Rushmore for a classroom history lesson) for the purpose of providing background material for a teacher observation; 3) the location of the sheet was on a separate teacher table adjacent to the teacher’s desk; 4) the student (without permission) took the sheet from a “ton” of discarded teacher’s material on that table; then, the student took it home and gave it to the parent.
I was able late yesterday afternoon to obtain the sheet (via fax) and saw why it was, in fact, discarded by the teacher as material to utilize in her presentation. Now, the thought that we as public educators would deliberately distribute such material is absolutely absurd! What was reported (which had been rebutted prior to the airing) was misleading and totally incorrect. I can only think it was shown for its sensational effect. Sadly, regardless of any follow-up report, our System has been defamed (possibly permanently). Should you need more information or if you have questions, please call or e-mail me.

“A second parent has now come forward acknowledging their child received a Nation of Islam “handout” in a third grade class at Harold McCormick Elementary School in Elizabethton, Tennessee – contradicting claims by the school district that the document was not distributed in the classroom.
[...] “I don’t want this little boy to be looked at as a liar,” the parent said. “As of right now that’s what all of these adults are making this boy out to be – and that makes me sick to my stomach.”
So what happened inside that third grade classroom at Harold McCormick Elementary School?
According to the parent, the children were separated into four groups. Each group was given two “sheets of paper.”
“The teacher held up each one and said, ‘These do not go home. These are just to use here,” the parent told me. “
From the ConsTreehouse writeup.
Well, since most of us are unemployed, we should just homeschool. Consider it an investment for our future.
What the schools push out the door are generally unemployable illiterates with no work ethic or ambition. Empty high top sneakers and sag ass pants.
Remember this when you see one of the commie ‘RAT ads this week accusing the GOP of “cutting education” loot. That seems to be their popular ad this year. Larger class sizes due to the GOP cutting education loot. No mention about the larger class sizes being the result of Barry Soetoro’s “unaccompanied” illegal alien invasion.
If the muslims/dems can handout fliers showing how great Islam is why can’t we hand out fliers showing how evil it is?
MLK denounced the NOI as no better than the Klan.
One more reason the country’s on the wrong track... this woman NEVER should be allowed to teach young people...
We’d never get ours into the classroom. The line I really love is: not supposed to take the Nation of Islam handout home - wonder why?
You misunderstand. It was never supposed to LEAVE the classroom. As in “Don’t tell your parents what we’re doing”.
Islam is the only entity in the world that still has slaves.
Nothing says ‘Nation of Islam’ like Carter County, Tennessee...ROTFLMAO!
