Boys and girls at Hampton Middle School in Georgia were instructed by their teacher to write letters to lawmakers calling for stricter gun control laws.





"You are trying to persuade lawmakers to have stricter gun laws to help prevent another school shooting from taking place," the assignment declared. "For this assignment, you are writing a letter to the lawmakers of the United States. The purpose of this letter is to pressure lawmakers to have stricter gun laws in the United States.

Blue L***s M****r obtained a copy of the social studies assignment from a police officer whose son was in the classroom.




"I asked him what he had for homework that night, and he said he had to write a paper on gun control," William Lee told Blue L***s M****r. "I looked at it, and I told my son, 'No, you're not doing that assignment.' Then I emailed his teacher the next day and told him that my son would not be writing that."

Good for Officer Lee!

The teacher told Officer Lee his son would be excused from the lesson and would not be penalized.



I reached out to Henry County Schools and they tell me the assignment was not a part of any approved curriculum.

"We would never approve of a politically biased assignment or directive given by a teacher," the district spokesman told me.

He assured me the letters were not sent and there was never any intent to send them.

"This activity took the wrong approach in limiting the ability of students to share any thoughts outside of what was directed of them when the subject elicits many different viewpoints from people, including students," the spokesman told me.

Henry County School, he said, does not advocate for or against gun control and had the lesson been submitted for approval -- it would not have been approved.

"It is unfortunate that this isolated incident occurred, but we are appreciative of those individuals who brought it to our attention so we could take corrective action and stop it from continuing further," the spokesman said.

The school district spokesman said the teacher has been spoken to and they tell me this will not happen again.

Let's hope not.

Reptiles certainly do have claws, but then to have something stuck in your craw is a different matter. That refers to the throat. You know, that part of the throat from where the "Craw" "Craw" sound that crows make, comes from.

Do you think you can make your post take up any more space by putting in a few more unnecessary pillars and put more empty spaces between the lines ???

Any way when people criticize you for the name you have chosen, just tell them there is something seriously wrong with people who h**e or have a problem with the hard working and successful people of integrity and character who are God-fearing, law-abiding, taxpaying, patriotic citizens of America that are the backbone of this country and have made it the most prosperous, powerful and free nation on the face of the earth --- Because that's what a "Teabagger" is and you won't find a better definition.

Teachers that push anti Constitutional laws should be fire and banned from ever teaching again, same goes for colleges and universities.
It's Karl Marx strategy.

Unless you're a facist totatalertion... exposing a student to all information in a unbiased way is the best way to educate people who choose to be a well educated e*****rate... what's next book burning?... you righties are leaning too far right...

Yep. Grounds for immediate dismissal!!

LOL funny rejoinder. The problem is that teachers more and more are teaching not only outside of the curriculum but outside of the facts based on their own left leaning. If you were going to make a true teaching moment out of this you would lay out the events to the students as factually as possible and then ask them to write a letter to their congressmen based on what THEY thought should be done to alleviate/rectify the problem. Then share their letters and perhaps have a class conversation laying out their various positions and defending their thought processes WITHOUT the teacher telling them they're right or wrong. Oh wait, that would promote critical thinking. Can't have that can we?

Steve, I just copied and pasted. It wasn't strung out like that in the article.

As far as being called names. I ignore them. To me they are showing how small they really are. That's the reason I didn't respond. Mike

Seems it works both ways... left leaning teacher? VS right leaning police officer?...who's right or wrong assigning political or moral values to professions?...
