Brumar,

The point is that she made certain assumptions. Whether these assumptions had any validity or not was just not relevant, any more than deciding a child from the ghetto had parents who wouldn't give a crap what their child was assigned should influence an assignment.

Did we object? We asked whether all students were required to read a work of Miller, and whether CW was expected to, when others weren't. When the answer was no, that he merely had to report on Miller himself, we agreed to the assignment.

But the fact that we had to intervene, and that I worked with him on that assignment, that his father talked with him about the wrongness of what that teacher had done, these are things that should not have happened. CW is lucky. He has educated and involved parents. What of the child who doesn't?

I will admit that I have no idea if CW "ran down" her faith. But I will assert that she is the adult, and should not allow teenagers to affect her teaching methods and her good judgment.
