Public School Forces Students To Write Essay Bashing George W. Bush According to recent reports, one sixth grade teacher took a comparative essay assignment a little too far, and is finding themselves deep in hot water. Reportedly, the teacher asked students to write an essay that compared President Bush to Hitler. The school, located in Washington D.C., has been known for assignments that relate to politics. However, this assignment was more controversial than most, especially since it required students to explain why Bush and Hitler were alike. It is absurd to compare the presidency of President Bush to the Holocaust, but students were given a textbook to learn about the role of power in Hitlers reign. They were also asked to take a look at the role of power during Bushs presidency. What do you think of this assignment? Would you let your child write this paper?
