Utah school apologizes for ISIS poster assignment

SALT LAKE CITY -- A Utah school apologized Thursday for a classroom assignment in which students were asked to create a propaganda poster for a group such as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to understand the goals and methods of terror groups.

The assignment at Salem Junior High School was canceled after several parents called to complain, Nebo School District spokeswoman Lana Hiskey said.

Hiskey said the assignment was given Wednesday by a first-year teacher to about 60 ninth-grade students in a world civics class. It was not approved by the school and was not a part of any official curriculum.

"She wanted the students to understand how propaganda can be wrong and lead people incorrectly," Hiskey said of the teacher.

School officials were first alerted to the assignment when parents complained.

No disciplinary action was planned against the teacher, who is apologetic and has met with school administrators, said Hiskey, who declined to provide the educator's name.

You don't think that teaching our youth about the empty promises of ISIS propaganda is a good idea?

Would you say the same thing if the assignment was about the horrors of abortion?

Apples and oranges my friend.  Abortion is a debatable topic, ISIS is not.

Why is the abortion topic not debatable?
