Fire Teacher Who Asked Children to Draw a Nazi Mascot

Gwinnett County school officials are responding after a middle-school teacher gave sixth-graders an assignment in which they were to create mascots for the Nazi Party.

Gwinnett County Public Schools spokeswoman Sloan Roach said the assignment, at Shiloh Middle School in Snellville, was not approved by the school system.

The assignment "is not a part of the approved materials provided by our Social Studies department and is not appropriate and the school is addressing the use of this assignment with the teacher," Roach said in an email.

The teacher, who has not been publicly identified, gave the assignment on Monday and a parent brought it to the attention of the school system.

This teacher needs to be fired for giving children such an inappropriate homework assignment, glorifying one of the most evil regimes in human history. Children should not be encouraged to glorify hate-mongering and bigotry.
