It can only push the kids to do just that by segregating , the teacher creates the segregating, rather than this-
You need to go to a bomb shelter and can take 4 others with you. Your choices:
A doctor
A construction worker
A minister
A lawyer
An athlete
A mother
Which 4 would you choose and why.
Now, that is called an exercise in critical thinking. The problem given was an exercise is isolating by skin color, lifestyle; segregating.
The critical thinking comes when someone is forced to defend why they don't want the black lesbian in the shelter. People do take those things into account. Are you new here?
No kid in elementary school should be forced to do that. Only someone promoting an agenda would even ask such a question, and that isn't a school teacher's job.
I agree! An elementary student should not be assigned this!
It's a high school assignment.
It shouldn't be assigned in K-12. Public schools shouldn't be brainwashing kids with ideology.
The only way this assignment is brainwashing is if the teacher has decided that there's only one right answer. Instead, it's an open-ended question that a student must defend, using rational arguments.
The very heart of critical thinking.
Wrong. The teacher shouldn't even be discussing this. The assumption in the assignment is that race matters. It doesn't matter what the answer is. The teacher only brings it up so she can harp on the race issue. She should stick to teaching whatever she gets paid to teach and not this propaganda.
