Ceasar Chavez HATED illegals
THIS!!

Has the assignment been done? Or in research/writing phase?

If time remains, please do what you can to accurately insert Chavez' loathing of illegal aliens into the book report. If you need sources to cite, I can help.

Chavez FULLY understood what many black democrats don't even realize... that illegal immigration hurts the working poor, and thus in many areas that is poor blacks, more than any other class, by depressing wages.

Maybe so. But she grew up and is intellectually sound, has Ivy League aspirations and is a good kid.

I could have raised hell with the school board I guess. I chose a different route.

There was yet another route, give your child the information and allow them to write the book report themselves. That was the goal of the assignment after all, but you were too blinded by you're own biases to give your daughter a teachable moment. Sad.

By what metric? Other than theoretical physics and "community organizing" how are they important figures?

Who would you compare them to in importance to some others people?

She wrote it. I directed her writing.

Maybe it was wrong. I was like the OP. Pissed that it was even an assignment. But that’s the choice I made. I’ll let her know I’m a bad parent though. Thanks for letting me know.

I don't know what I would do if I had kids in school nowadays. I remember one of my reports was Eli Whitney inventor of the cotton gin. I guess that would be racist today.

I see it as a great opportunity to inject some of your own worldview into the book report.

Yes. I gave her the sources. Gave her important facts and helped her outline the paper.

Che was an evil person. Few things piss me off more than seeing him printed on some losers t shirt. He should be thought of in the same lines as Hitler.

As a 9 year old child??
What do you remember about school from those times?

Great idea...burden 9 year old with 2 separate classes, one of revisionist history and dated pop science and the other trying to unbrainwash the political bents of a teacher who thinks those are of importance to a 9 year olds personal growth.

Get out of your trailer once in a while in Arkansas and understand learning and gaining knowledge of what may be right or wrong is part of human growth. Until then have fun banging your cousin.

A frick ton dude, but not George Washington, but there a million people you can write reports about other than him. The premise of your question is either meant to reinforce whatever conspiracy theories are going on in your head or you are just ignorant. Sounds like former but only you know that

Someone in Oklahoma wants their kids to be ignorant. This is American decline right here.
