Rialto School Board Apologizes for "Horribly Inappropriate" Holocaust Assignment The "argumentative research assignment" asked eighth-graders to debate whether the Holocaust really happened NBC Los Angeles By Christina Cocca Wednesday, May 7, 2014 <Excerpt> A Southern California school board is "deeply sorry" for a "horribly inappropriate assignment" that had middle-schoolers debate whether the Holocaust happened, officials said at a contentious meeting Wednesday evening. Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center was among the speakers protesting the district's decision during a meeting on Wednesday night. "There's something broken (in the district)," he said. He attributed the assignment to "stupidity" and invited the school district to bring both students and staffers to visit the Museum of Tolerance. Rialto School Board President Joanne T. Gilbert said school district leadership "accepts responsibility and the duty to correct this problem." He said officials had no intention to be hurtful." The middle school assignment prompted death threats against school officials and police to be stationed outside schools earlier this week in response. Before the board's statement, community members slammed the assignment and demanded the board take action. The "argumentative research assignment" asked eighth-graders to argue whether the Holocaust "was an actual event in history or merely a political scheme created to influence public emotion and gain wealth," according to a copy obtained by NBC4. <snip> link ********************************************************* Common Core Curriculum is what has broken the public school system and created instances like this that will continue. They make mealy mouthed apologies and say they'll fix the issue, but they keep this agenda firmly in place, and then something more heinous will come along and they will do their mea culpa shtick and change absolutely nothing.
