A good start.
He’s certainly more of a hero than George Floyd or Jacob Blake, although that’s a very low bar.
Sounds like a fair spread to me as the teacher allowed all sides of the conflict. I bet the author think George Floyd is a “hero” too
Well, why not? Isn’t turnabout fair play? We’ve seen so many historical figures unjustly vilified, it’s about time we give a contemporary figure the credit due.
He killed fewer people than the “heroes” my nephew was asked to choose from for an assignment at a Jesuit “catholic” middle school. The list included Margaret Sanger and “Deng Chow Peng”.
We can’t be having any balance in the schools, can we?How are Chavez, Ghanaians MalcolmX to be considered Modern Day Anything?
A male Joan of Arc.
I’d be worried about an English teacher that can’t spell. How hard is it to spell X?
he is a hero... he whacked two commies and permanently disabled another. That’s a true american hero.
I would write the hell out of an essay supporting him.
And the problem is?
I think he is a hero.
Malcolm Y?
The title of the article reveals the bias. Since Kyle was only one option.
Obviously, the teacher was trying to get the students to write an essay that was convincing and in need of strong supporting argument.
One would think that his own kind, the teacher, would have colleagues of an intellectual enough level to understand that. But then again, we know the lack of quality in education from k-12 and higher.
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.
It wouldn’t surprise me if this teacher didn’t do this to “unmask” the right wingers in the class.
“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.
That’s refreshing for a change...
In all honesty, if my son had such an assignment I’d have him write about Malcolm X before George Floyd.
