Well MLK said he dreamed of a day when people would not be judged by the color of their skin but the content of their character, so....maybe she wants your son to write that 'we shouldn't judge Muslims'? My opinion of that is that Islam is a religion - something someone chooses. A persons race is not a choice - it is God given. Maybe just reviewing that fact with your son will help him decide what his opinion is and what MLK would be thinking about this war....FWIW.
Just don't be surprised when the kid grows up only knowing how to write meaningless papers that nobody will ever care about. Perhaps they could become a journalist?

He said that, but scarcely believed it or acted in accordance with it. This was the same goof that cheated his way through school and was in bed with one or several other woment other than his wife a few hours befor he was shot. Judging King by his character will get you run out of town, or out of class.
King was all hot air and demogogery. He argued against stereotyping Blacks while conforming to the worst of those stereotypes.
