One such lesson plan , posted on the internet by Hassan Adeeb, a teacher in Waldorf, Maryland, compared the killing of Martin to that of Emmett Till, a 14-year old African-American who was killed in 1955 because he allegedly flirted with a white girl.Adeeb produced a lesson that had students considering information from Think Progress, a leftist group, as well as commentary from Ed Shultz, an obnoxious MSNBC gasbag. Regardless of the facts, activist teachers moved quickly to spin the narrative in their direction to score political points.NPR in March 2012 that his “students are extremely curious about the Trayvon Martin case. Yesterday, many of them basically engaged in silent solidarity by wearing hoodies.”sounds more like an activist’s agenda than an educator’s agenda. fun would that be? How could liberal teachers get any spin out of that? Activist teachers are doing a disservice to students by indoctrinating them with their own biased view of the world. The Martin case could be an excellent civics lesson if teachers would simply let students watch the trial, ask their own questions and form their own opinions.
