Students Assigned to Pack Bags and Pretend They Are Refugees in Trump’s America

A middle school teacher in Pennsylvania provoked outrage and charges of indoctrination after she assigned her students to time themselves for ten minutes as they packed a bag in imitation of refugees forced to leave America by President Donald Trump.

“President Trump is trying to take control of the United States!” read the deliberately inflammatory assignment, portraying America’s legitimate president as a dictator enacting a coup. “There are fights in the streets! You have to pretend that you are a refugee being forced to leave your home, never to return.”

The assignment then instructs students to spend only ten minutes packing a bag in preparation to leave their homes forever. “Please have a parent to [sic] time them for 10 minutes while they packed a bag. When the time was up they were to take a picture of the contents of their backpack and then email it to me,” the ungrammatical assignment continues. “If no picture, then draw it. You will have to present to us why you chose these items. This is due on Thursday. Worth 10 points.”

Guessing she/he/it is NOT a Trump fan and wants to spread the hate? Back in the day she might have been moved to hall monitor but today will probably get an award.

I would pack a bag full of MAGA hats, a bible and a pistol with ammunition. And then a copy of Hillary’s book “What Happened”. Take a photo and turn it in.

Photograph a suitcase holding nothing but a gun. Include caption: "Tyrants can't make me leave, thanks to the 2A."

“President Trump is trying to take control of the United States!”

Very true. He's trying to take control away from those unelected people in the Deep State and give governance back to the people.

I would pack my kids bag with a Gun, The Bible and a copy Atlas Shrugged, and tell my child this is how you protect yourself from the Democrats that Want Their Slaves Back.

I would produce a picture of my original homeland, and say, “This is where I belong, and should have stayed”.

"...you are a refugee being forced to leave your home..."

A legitimate refugee would not be required to leave as there is a legal process for that. If they are an illegal alien, their home is elsewhere, not America.

Next, she’ll have them dressed up as imprisoned bank robbers and ax murderers, so they can empathize with those who are denied their freedom.

They mention the President by name (Donald Trump), but they don’t mention the teacher by name. Why is that? Is the teacher a juvenile who needs protection?

The parents should demand that this teacher be fired for introducing politics into the school curriculum. An apology is not good enough; she will only find other ways to introduce her agenda. These people need to be removed from public teaching. You know that she would be if she were pushing conservative politics.

As usual, the best points are in by post 2 or 3! Beat me to it.

“A middle school teacher in Pennsylvania provoked outrage and charges of indoctrination”

That’s exactly what it is.
