A public school in San Antonio recently distributed a homework assignment to 7 & 8 year old children with what appears to be a liberal political message.
The homework assignment (shown below) asks students to write down the name of the current US President on a fill-in quiz sheet. Joe Biden is listed as one of the options at the bottom of the page but the name of Donald Trump, our current US President, is missing.
Obviously this is a false statement that appears to have an underlying political agenda. President Trump's legal team is still challenging the election results in court and the incumbent candidate hasn't yet conceded. The electoral college has yet to officially count their votes and, even if the votes are cast for Joe Biden, the political candidate won't be inaugurated until late January 2021. Regardless of who won the 2020 election (which, again, is yet to be determined) Donald Trump is still the President of the United States. This is an indisputable fact.
The homework assignment also asked the student to list the name of the Vice President and, while Democrat Kamala Harris was an option listed at the bottom of the page, current Vice President Mike Pence was not mentioned.
A parent of a 2nd grade student from Pearce Elementary School in Southside ISD (San Antonio) contacted Texas State Rep Briscoe Cain (R-Deer Park) after noticing the misleading information in the home work assignment. The homework was assigned on December 1st, 2020. The assignment was part of a civics lesson and the parent believes the assignment was part of the official school district curriculum.
"This kind of assignment has no place in the classroom," said Rep Cain, "There’s no way this was an accident or some oversight. It’s an overt act of brainwashing children."
This is not the first time in recent history that a public school in Texas has asked elementary aged school students to complete an assignment with an apparent underlying liberal political message. In March 2019 a Houston-area teacher asked students to review an essay that appeared to be critical of President Trump, according to a report.
We reached out to the superintendent of Southside ISD but have not yet heard back. We will update this article when new information becomes available.
“Biden, Biden, Biden, mmmm, mmmm.”
Hello, Trump is The current President until at least 1/20/22 noon.
Teacher needs to be fired, obviously she is incredibly ignorant. Even if she is a Biden supporter, Donald Trump is still president and Pence is vice-president.
Not until January 20th. If at all.
She’s not ignorant. Don’t do that. She knows what she’s doing. She’s in a position of public trust, especially as an educator of children. She’s licensed, by the state, based on her master of the subject (it requires a test) to teach what she is teaching.
Moreover, it is still a requirement in most states that lesson plans are approved by someone in administration. It has been a LONG time since that has actually been actively enforced anywhere, but it was regularly done and regularly required through the 1970s and 1980s.
This is willful. The administration and the teacher here bear responsibility for this.
Why doesn’t the man in the drawing have a mask on?!
“I’m a ******* teacher!”

As a San Antonio native, the demographics of that school district is predominantly, low-income & minority.
make that 2021
Make that 2025
Would the teacher DARE mark it wrong if some student had written in Kamala as President and Biden as the president of vice?
OMG, I forgot all about that crap song!
They don’t make teachers like they did back in my day. Sad.
99% percent of teachers give 1% of teachers a bad name. Screw them all.
Deep State Education.
2022 ? Are We getting a Bonus Year ?😁
Xi Jin Biden
I see they didn’t bother to spend any time on Pearl Harbor Day.
“the demographics of that school district is predominantly, low-income & minority.”
pretty much explains our LAUSD in L.A. If you go to any LAUSD office, it’s like Beverly Hills but the schools are sh*t. I’m close to Hollywood HS, and I never saw one white student in 14 years.
