English assignment listed Kyle Rittenhouse as modern-day hero

He spelled it “Eks”

The writing assignment also listed Joseph Rosenbaum, one of the protesters Rittenhouse is accused of killing

So it was a balanced assignment. The students could choose either side of the issue and claim a hero. To be honest, I dont have a problem with that.

Acutally the article states -

The writing assignment also listed Joseph Rosenbaum, one of the protesters Rittenhouse is accused of killing

So a balanced assignment.

It wouldn’t surprise me if this teacher didn’t do this to “unmask” the right wingers in the class.

[The Antiyuppie]

“The teacher misspelled Gandhi and Malcolm X.”

To make it worse, she spelled “X” “Ecks”. :)

Neal Boortz claimed that government education had become a form of child abuse.

[DouglasKC]

That’s refreshing for a change...

[Professional]

Exactly.

But all the outrage is about Kyle. Who was clearly and obviously ATTACKED (by all 3 perps) before he shot any of the 3.

[Scrambler Bob]

X is a verb.

I X him for the answer.

Why don’t they X us about rasiss injust-us.

[Does so]

Granted...

In all honesty, if my son had such an assignment I’d have him write about Malcolm X before George Floyd.

[Red in Blue PA]

Dead commies who were attacking him.

He is a hero, no doubt about that.

[joma89]

He is a hero. I trust many more of us step up when it is our turn.

No one is responsible for more death than Rachel Carson. Years after her death, over 200,000 a year die needlessly because of Silent Spring!

The teacher obviously intended that the kids examine and express their own values.

There is an easy case for Rittenhouse as a hero. He put himself in harm’s way before a violent mob of rioting communists bent on destruction to protect someone else’s livelihood. When his own life was threatened by armed convicted felons, he defended himself, successfully. There are no allegations that he acted from racism or attacked anyone. What is the complainer’s problem? That Rittenhouse retreated before firing?

[RetiredTexasVet]

One against three, and living to tell about it, seems like a good candidate for me.

[FLT-bird]

And? What’s the problem?

[FLT-bird]

LOL! Awesome. Free Helicopter Rides for Commies.

[Charles Martel]

I chuckle at that pic every time it is posted. Someone should teach that kid how to draw a Chinook, though.

"a high school English teacher who asked students to write about a modern-day hero and listed the 17-year-old accused of killing two people during Wisconsin protests as one possible option."

I think I can agree with that assessment... :)

Why would anyone in Texas care about what some commie pigs in Chicago say?
