https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/dallas-school-district-apologizes-assignment-describing-kenosha-shooter-hero-n1240315Let's look at the actual assignment:
Let's look at the statements of the offended party:
Kristian Hernandez said that her younger brother, a student at W.T. White High School in Dallas, shared details of the assignment with his family.
"My brother was really in disbelief that this was actually an assignment," Hernandez told NBC affiliate KXAS.
"The juxtaposition of George Floyd's name with Kyle's name was just astounding," she said. “The value of Black lives are not up for debate, and that’s what it felt like this was sort of getting at — by way of the names that were included."
Lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse is always a possibility when you allow truly free thought.
I really don't give a crap that Mr. Hernandez or her brother were offended. Free thinking is bound to offend people. Their "offense" implies that the national liberal narrative on the current issue be accepted without question, including the part that
Santa Claus comes down the chimney on Christmas Eve the vast majority of protests were "mostly peaceful". This is what freedom of thought looks like and sounds like.
Now I would not have suggested such an assignment, and Rittenhouse isn't one of my heroes; he's a criminal defendant whose guilt has yet to be determined in a Court of Law. Ms. Hernandez wishes the school to be an Echo Chamber. If we are going to have Echo Chamber schools, that's fine, but I would prefer that the Echo Chamber reinforce the highly defensible idea that America is a Good Nation and reject the nonsense of garbage such as the current news narrative (let alone Critical Race Theory and the 1619 project).
