Parents were horrified when it was revealed that a teacher at Albany High School in New York was making students in her sophomore English classes argue that “Jews are evil” as part of an exercise in persuasive writing.

TheBlaze’s Tiffany Gabbay explained the assignment and its wider implications:

“You must argue that Jews are evil, and use solid rationale from government propaganda to convince me of your loyalty to the Third Reich!” read the description on the assignment, which the school superintendent said reflects the kind of sophisticated writing expected of students under the new Common Core standards and was meant to hone students’ persuasive argument abilities.

According to the Times Union, which broke the story, the teacher was not in class Friday and has been placed on leave.

Well, the good news for this teacher is that if somehow she gets fired, they'll be an opening in one of our prestigious Ivy League Universities.

Especially if she can list "bombing" or "killing police" on her resume.
