NYC school teacher hands out anti-Trump assignment


Posted: Feb 21, 2017

Adria Zawatsky is a sixth-grade English teacher at Paulo Intermediate School in Staten Island, New York and angered one dad with an assignment that politicized her feelings toward President Donald Trump and Barack Obama. The worksheet asked students to fill in the blank on the following sentences: “8.) President Trump speaks in a very superior and _________ manner insulting many people. He needs to be more ________. “9.) Barack Obama set a ________ when he became the first African American president.” The answers Zawatsky was looking for on number eight were “haughty” and “humble.” For number nine, the teacher wanted “precedent.” When Vincent Ungro’s 11-year-old daughter brought the assignment home, he was outraged. He allowed his child to turn in the work with those three answers left blank and wrote the teacher a note: “Please keep your political views to yourself and do not try to influence my children on them. Thank you, Mr. Ungro.” The teacher took away 15 points from the worksheet for the incomplete answers and defended the assignment in a note back to the father: "Firstly, I do not believe I was expressing a political view at all on my vocabulary sheet. My reference to President Trump was about his personality traits rather than his ability as a president.” But Ungro felt there were “a thousand sentences that she could have used besides disparaging our president.” Zawatsky, a 12-year veteran at the school, had a letter of reprimand placed in her personnel file. The principal said, “We have clear standards and regulations in place to ensure school staff maintain neutrality with respect to their political beliefs while in school.” Ungro was happy with that outcome as he wasn’t attempting to get the teacher fired or suspended; he just wanted to send the message that “she should have known better.” He was happy to teach his daughter a “valuable lesson,” as well: "That she should stay strong with her beliefs even if it's not the beliefs of her peers. That you don't have to block traffic, wear silly costumes or destroy other people's property to be heard. Through patience, persistence and the power of the pen, you can accomplish many things." ;

I agree that was a bit over the top but perhaps the teacher was simply trying to teach students about "alternative facts."

and Sharpton. It is not even Russia. It is our academicians. The maniacal faction of the liberal professors have for the most part taken over all of our universities with indoctrination. Now we are seeing this same disease spreading to our elementary schools. If this continues we will have a nation of nothing but a generation idiots graduating from our schools.

I would posit academia, the entertainment/gaming industry and - the mainstream news media as

...equally dangerous. There was a similar troika in the late 1920s and early 1930's in Europe and America as Germany was emerging to rip the fabric of society.

Paris, for instance, was stuffed to the gills with both European and American liberals in the arts, literature, etc., who languished in the sidewalk cafes, artist lofts and villas of their patrons, deriding and insulting anyone who saw and (as it turned out) quite properly feared the rise of the Reich.

Sad isn't it - Shame on those

schools teaching kids that you shouldn't be racist and judge people by their race or religion or sexual preference. My child came out of school a much better person for learning these things.
